Have thought a bit more about the 2WD braking idea.
Whilst the pictures were not clear to see all the fine details, I am thinking that two separate servo's operating two separate cables would be very difficult to get equal braking on both wheels. I guess it would involve a lot of time to get the adjustments of the cables exactly matched.
The more sensible way would be to use one servo and one cable. Each end of the cable attached to each calliper, then the servo operating from the centre of the cable. This would give an equal pull to both callipers.
Now as far as being in the spirit of the rules I believe it is, as these cars are supposed to represent a full size car and I don't know of any full size cars without front brakes!
The current rules do not make this idea illegal, providing it is not operated by a third channel, but (as some have already recognised) we have an 'open' rule that allows the Section to disqualify any development that is considered not to be within 'the spirit' of the rules.
23.13 The 1/10th Off Road Committee are empowered to legislate at any time against any new equipment that in the opinion of the committee detracts from the essential skill of the driver controlling the car during racing. Manufacturers, importers and others are therefore strongly advised to consult with the 1/10th Off Road Committee before investing in technology that may be ineligible.
