Default !?!?!?!?!Hydraulics!?!?!?!

I am thinking about putting some hydraulic breaks in my savage monster truck, just for the chalenge. I am thinking about keeping the disks in the same place on the truck.

What hydraulic systems are available for R/C vehicles. I have hydraulic breaks on my push bike, but they are far to big and powerfull

Any comments ideas?

If you had a relativley large R/C car i guess you could use the disk break systems that are available for mountain bikes. THey are light and very powerfull.

you can get them in 2 piston, 4 piston and 6 piston versions.

I have a pair of two [piston ones on my bike and they stop me very very fast, imagine what that would do on a car.

I bought a stainless steel duel disk brake for my Savage & it's crazy strong! I can do a front flip at around 10 mph!! I'm just now getting used to the brake being so strong but I still forget about it & do cartwheels in the middle of a curve on asphalt. lol

It would be cool to be able to have front and back brakes with seperate controll so that you can do handbrake turns and stuff like that, it wouold also mean that you could stop quickly without flipping, also a hand brake function on the controller would be handy, so that you can have the hand brake on when you need to pull up your trousers etc.
