[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 728489, member: 1068"] agreed there - its a major downfall to it in my opinion. I would MUCH rather lose steering than brakes Hell just on the last trip out, I ran low on gas (yea...i know ::) :rolf: ) on a really long, steep downhill section at AOP and since my pickups are at the back of the tank, I needed to be flat before it would start back up...well had I lost brakes on that downhill, I would probably still be in the woods hauling buggy parts out to the truck. With it set up the way it is, I was able to coast down the hill under control and not have to worry about keeping my one pump on the brakes to not die. That issue alone is enough for me to never touch HB on a trail buggy - add in the overheating of the pumps if you look at it funny, and the overall complexity (KISS method is king on a trail buggy in my opinion) of the kit... nah give me a good manual brake set up that works right and I'll pick it every single time over a HB setup.
