Anyone here with a full size rig with rockwell axles and pinion brakes? Do your brakes work ok for short runs on the road? I realize they can't be used for a daily driver but for short runs to the office, off road park, or beach (less than 20 miles @ 55) do they work ok?

Thanks

I don't think they'll pass safety inspection if that matters to ya...maybe you already knew that.
 
I dont know that Id trust them that much far as street driving axle breaks or something could be very bad thing mine will sling ya through the wind shield if ya barely touch the pedal.
 
not only what is listed above, but they have very quick brake fade... it might not be as bad, if you ran a large rotor/caliper setup, but i still wouldnt trust it on the street for more than a mile or so...
 
been running rockwells for years, wouldnt trust pinion brakes over a couple miles and maxxed out about 35mph. get you some good wheel brakes if you want street driveability from rockwells.
