Duh! I know that. My grrl hardly ever sees 3k rpm's, much less high speeds. It's just that it's getting heavier, the more sh*t I pile on this thing. I might as well armor plate it and become a mercenary.
Anyone got a flareside bed mounted .50 cal they wanna get rid of?
Back on topic....what gears are you running??

Also rolling downhill backwards rear disc brakes would be sweet.

rear disc brakes will help you going forward or reverse. Cross-drilled and slotted rotors are, I believe, more helpful for extended use of braking (i.e. autocross, racing, etc. when you use your brakes hard and often.) The added surface area of the slots and holes allows air to pass over the brakes and cool them better, reducing brake fade. I've also heard they provide a better way to vent some sort of gas that is emitted by the friction of pads on rotors. Either way, it's not my understanding that they improve your normal braking performance, but are aimed more at increasing brake performance over long periods of heavy use. Kind of see what I'm saying?

well when brakes are starined they heat up and the cooling helps with brake fade. allegedly.
I would think that slipping brakes would cause a lot of heat...

What do u mean by slipping? Cause the idea of brakes is friction. So that's a given.
