Isolated brake activation
Hi guys,
I have been thinking about this for a while, finally decided to do some Googling around, but couldn't find anything out there. The question is:
Are there any mods out there that would allow me to choose which one of my brake to activate? Rally cars have such systems on them, but have you heard of anything for passenger trucks/cars?
Off the top of my head benefits that I can think is that such system would eliminate the need for LSDs when stuck in mud/snow since you can simply engage the brakes on the spinning wheels and pull the truck out with the one that have tractions (given that at least one wheel has traction).
Another benefit would be the ability to spin the back tire until they explode I can't spin my tires because of AWD, it engages the front wheels and gets the truck moving too quickly, but if I could engage the brakes on the front wheels, then the back wheels would spin nicely given there is little weight on them.
Just thought I start a conversion and see what others' thoughts are on this,

I was thinking some sort of valve sitting on the line to the caliper with a electromagnetic actuator. Couldn't find anything though.
