Hi all
I am a member of Axlr8r Formula Racing, IIT Delhi.
In our last test run, we faced the following issue with our braking system :
After a smooth run of around 6-7 Km, rear calipers got jammed while engaged to the discs which brought the vehicle to a complete halt, killing the engine. After releasing the pressure by opening one of the bleed nipples, pistons retracted only to jam again after 2-3 Km.
We are using two master cylinders, one for each front and rear circuit and dual piston brake calipers.
With only 10 days remaining until we ship our car for FS India, we are in a critical situation and need help in understanding as to why this is happening and possible solutions. We have thought of cleaning the whole system using compressed air for now.
