Default RC Brakes

I know the air ducts on the RC F help cool the brakes but do the RC350 or RC F Sport have the same design?

In the F-sport, that's what those two square cut outs on the lower corners of the grille are for.

the two big side intakes on the RCF are for the transmission and oil coolers.

Maybe but prolly guna need custom wheels due the stock offset we have, it may hit the large calipers from the RcF 6 piston in the front possibly the rear too

You should pick up a set of stock RC-F wheels from someone who is selling theirs as soon as their wheels come in...

hey FrogBreath can you pls let me know when you find out whether the RCF brakes fit on regular RC models.
I'm looking to do a brake upgrade on my RCF & will need to sell my oem set up. RC 350 guys are the perfect demographic.
