I am trying to replace the electric braks assemblies on my 1985 rustler trailer. The backing plate has a weird bolt pattern. The GVWR is 9320lbs. So each axle should be 4660lb rating. Anyway the bolt pattern is a four bolt pattern. The top two bolts are 3.25 inches apart. The top left and bottom left is 3.25 inches apart. The bottom two bolts are 2.5 inches apart. The bottom right is not in line with the top right but is about 3.25 inches apart. I am trying to locate an electric brake assembly to replace the existing. Does anyone know where I can find one to fit??? I guess the brakes are 12x2". Does anyone know what kind of axles Rustler used back then? Please help me to figure this out.

rustler85,

I would check different size axle other than the size that you mentioned.

Just because the gvwr is 9320 don't nessesarily mean that you would halve that and come up with the axle rating! Some manufact. set gvwr as a function of tire capacity or with tounge(sp.) load added to the mix, being rated for more than the axle rating or tire ratings alone.
