Alright, here’s another one for the masses. I’ve been looking at running two brake pedals on this Regal I’m building. Both on the front end, one for each side. My theory is the same as a farm tractor, turning sharper as well as throwing power to the side that needs it by locking up the opposite side. Thoughts?

Seems like a pain for little gain. In the event you lose steering it would come in handy but seems like a lot to try and concentrate on while derbying. If anything I'd run a hand brake on one side and a pedal on the other. Jmo

I actually gave some thought to doing that, but since I have two pedals off an old Oliver I thought I’d use them. Much appreciated. Could lock them together until I’d need to have that extra edge.

How would you go about easily swapping trailing arm mounts? Just curious. I've never been able to come up without a decent solution unless you're allowed to tie it in to your cage.
