I was talking about an idea similar to this but haveing something like disk brakes on the front wheels. But people reckon it would work.

The additional weight would slow the car down enough that you would have no point. However in larger cars (nitro 1/8 buggys and such) i have seen after market kits for such brakes. They would probably be good if you have 1/8 scale buggy with a fast engine, but as far as electric, the disadvanges out weigh the advatages for now.
