...yeah, all you have to do is push a

handle and the brakes release, and even then you don't have to make them

opperable, like trim brakes or something, were you thinking of a motor or something ?

im thinking about making air brakes, use a little tank

filled with air, but you would have to fill it back up, lol. and you can have a spring to

have it opened when there's no pressure.

I just tried your brakes and I have found it a MUST

to add weight. I hot-glued a meatal pipe to the bottom of the connector rod, and it

seems to be enough.

Great Job.

Yay!, proof

that I am not the only one that can get them to work! lol. Thanks for trying. It

can also depend on how gradual of a braking you want, add more weight you have a

goliath braking and have a little weight and you have an X braking, either way though

you SHOULD be putting the weight like I said in the tutorial to keep the brakes up.

Glad to hear somebodys happy. J/k.

lol
well yours it prob the best way too, because

you do not need any special parts, unless you want them to work perfectly.

You don't even

have to have any special parts, you could just put a ton of pieces attatched to the

bottom parts of the brakes for the weight.

thats true, but adding weights is more affective and

take up less space and look nicer. But i love those brakes.

You should

summit this to sscoasters, im sure he'll put it on the site.
