Hi, I've had my trail boss for a number of years. It's been fun to run around in, and much better now that I have the right belt on the drive. Now it'll move along pretty fast (for a 6x6). One problem I have is the stopping. It's either coast to a stop, or reverse the sticks. Reversing the controls seems pretty harsh, and at times can send me off the trail (usually to the left).
I was trying to think of a set of brakes or brake for the input shaft. I'd rather have a hand throttle, and use the current pedal for the brake. Any ideas on what might work? I was thinking of borrowing something from a snowmobile (older cable/disk brake).
I have a friend that added hydraulic brakes to center axle of Max IV. I don’t have the part numbers but know he used parts from midget racer or gocart. Mechanical disc from snowmobile would be a choice to look at.
Thanks.... at least I know it can be done. Looking at the center shaft, it looks like it'd make the most sense. I might even look at a hand brake for one stick, and a hand throttle for the other.
It looks like the hardest part will be the bracket to hold the caliper, and finding a brake disc I can use on the shaft.
