I complain a lot about mine of course because there is so little information on them, but I also think it is kind of cool and if it works, it works. I have yet to get mine assembled but it is pretty straightforward for me since it originally had one.

There is always a way to get what you want, and if you really want discs in the rear you can have them and have a parking brake, too. |
I actually have one of these driveline brakes on the back of an SM420 but it came out of a larger truck like C50 or C60. I think it would be neat to use it in something, just don't have a plan for it yet
