Looked at this truck more, and decided to do a custom rear bake setup, much like the new hyper9 buggy. It would place the rear brake disk on the rear diff pinion cup, and a brake pad holder would sit right in front of that cup. The holder would have a hole to let the dogbone pass through, and also have the brake lever conventionally mounted on the top. A single, long linkage would connect the front and rear brake levers, and the servo would be positioned right behind the steering servo, between it and the front center diff bulkhead.

I am doing this because the motor will be in the way of the rear brake disk if it is left on the rear center diff bulkhead. Plus I think it will be cool looking, and different!
