I made a custom servo plate for my buggy a few years ago that added a third servo that I used to activate a "hand brake". I don't know if I have the pics around anymore though.

Yes, a rear brake. I used the third channel on my radio to activate an extra servo that would apply pressure to only the rear brake on my buggy. It was a fun, if not useless project.

hell i kinda wouldn mind havin somethin like that myself cause at high speed when i hit my brakes my truck wants to flip forward every time cause the stock brake is really touchy so to have an alternate brake would be nice!
If your truck doesn't have a center diff, it won't work though. Works fine on 1/8th buggies because of that center diff.
I've made many roll bars and variations of roll bars along with skid plates and bumper cushions.
Not sure if your discussing t-maxx stuff only or not. If you are, then ignore this.
Aftershock front bumper brace, tired of busting stock ones frequently and paying for the entire skid just to get it:
Aftershock roll bar (makes bodies last way longer since they don't crumple):
Aftershock front center skid to avoid busting another set of chassis rails:
Revo roll bar:
Micro-T chassis extension so I could use aaa's:
Current Savage buggy tank and roll bar:
Old no longer owned savage with different tank and roll bar:
t-maxx bumper cushion:
Sure wish I had thought of a roll bar when I had a maxx. A bar like I have/had on my rigs above would have saved countless shock towers and body mutilations. I had a new era roll bar, but it only protected the engine.
Tapped/Threaded hole in ACNCM t-maxx bulks to put a set screw in to keep hinge pins from falling out when c-clips were lost:
I'm sure I have others... but I'm also sure I already over indulged on posting them.

LMAO, no doubt. If there was an ugliest hop up award, Olds would win that hands down!
Hell, he just recently started running whole bodies.

Wish I could figure out a way to put a roll bar on my jato... tired of snapping rear towers like twigs.
Got very tired very quickly of replacing the body on that thing. Was really wheelie prone since I either ran a 18TM or BB in it and the bodies would just get ripped up constantly.
