It's a line brake!!! like I had on my bracket cars back in the day. Hadn't thought of that as a braking system but will give it some thought. Another reason this hadn't been contemplated was that the Spiderbox is so light it's never had an issue with stopping power and all the near impacts haven't occurred due to braking (that I'm aware of). Now both the Franken-buggies have front brakes as the need them!

Tom-I'm very familiar with the dual brake pedals as I implemented that system in my old dune buggies to help steer/traction control in rough terrain.
I should be able to test the steering/travel tomorrow with the rain almost gone.
