why was I thinking that some dune buggies had 1 lever that you pushed for one brake and pulled for another? push for right brake, pull for left. 1 handle. how often do you rear dig?

Now granted you cant do that with a welded rear. But with a Detroit, you are money.
I see no need for seperate front brakes, unless you are grabbing them on an aborted acsent and are starting to come back down the hill.

also rear burnouts are sometimes necessary to heat up tires.
Everyone seems to be missing the fact that a one handled single MC one will only have one MC to actuate 2 calipers
You'll more than likely need to use the brake pedal to assist the handle
A MC on the handles for each caliper is ideal due to shear volume of fluid your trying to move
MUCHADO said:one MC is for 1 caliper left, 1 caliper right.. not both at same time...
man I got a real cool clip of robert lucero motoring around a tight dirt corner using his cutting brake, it's pretty damn amazing what it does for turning or pivoting on 1 wheel..
with wyatt's you have both brakes or either brake all at your fingertips I just don't know that I'd be able to choose which stick to pull quickly enough cause I'm kinda derr da derr..
You'll love it! Promise or my name isn't Thomas Jefferson.vanguard said:FYI, I ordered the dual handled cutting brake from poly today. If the single handle/single cylinder was cheaper that might have put me over the edge but even then a bunch of surfing around pirate had me convinced that the double would be useful from time to time. I plan to plumb it with one line to each rear wheel, as opposed to a line to the front and a line to the back. I've had luck with putting it in rear wheel drive and overpowering the brake for rear diggs, even though I've never done it on an actual obstacle.
Thanks for all the advice everybody.
um, yeah seriously. I'm welded in the rear, don't need a cutting brake on the front, I only need 1 handle to do the rear. carrier's welded. takes a whole new carrier to put a locker in. not gonna happen. 1 handle it is. new rig might be diffInDaShop said:Kelly seriously?

Based on my experience I tend to spin without going anywhere when I try to front dig uphill. On level ground and downhill I can do cool digs that impress my friends. Maybe locking one tire will help with uphill digs?BamaTJ said:I have heard that certain types of cutting brake manuvers require an ARB or other selectable locker? What would I be able to do with two handle cutting brakes and full Detroits front and rear? Would I be able to do those sweet XRRA uphill turns like most of the guys did by locking the rear up completely and letting the front drag around?
what I mean by rear dig is this. a front dig to me is holding the rear brakes and spinning the front tires. thus front digging.blacksheep10 said:why was I thinking that some dune buggies had 1 lever that you pushed for one brake and pulled for another? push for right brake, pull for left. 1 handle. how often do you rear dig?

how often do you rear dig meaning no need for cutters on the front tires to spin rears only, thus rear dig.
