The RC6E's are sintered fully metallic pads and generate quite a bit of heat, more than semi-metallics from the temp data I gathered. These rotors saw north of 1,200 degrees in less than 20 minutes.
Also, I was driving three cars this weekend, there were a few times when I came off the track and switched cars, which is, IMO what caused the crack in the first place. Normally I give the brakes more cool down and roll the car a bit to reduce hot spots, I didn't do that every time this weekend.

Too cool to cool down Dave!
On a side note, I wonder if ducting will solve the issue at this point. The replacement disc cost is simply hard to beat right now. Crack that 2nd set with ducting and it'll mean it's time to move onto ducted Endurance Kit! :happy0180:
