  Oh yes, my guess wrong, it was the brake circuit that overheated and sort-a expolded. Guess things to do with electric (my field) again...

  brake drum is probably a braking systems assisting device.
  
  from the name , its probably circular and attached to the moving vehicle wheel. because we know play drums are cylindrical and hit with drum stick. so i say is circle shape. then got some sort of pad attached to the vehicle base will hit the brake drum like a outstretched hand. cause friction n slows the wheel down. pressure i assume is applied to this pad thing by way of hydraulics. lol
  
  ahhh i dunno anything
  
  mr surhirman can explain brake drums?

  Braking assistance arh?
  
  I thot the retarder then is the braking assistance . Cuz the retarder cant stop the bus completely as it loses its usage as the speed of the bus goes down . The brakes are the ones which makes the bus finally come to a halt i think .
