No, no experiance with that one, but you know, you're going to have to route your brakeline inside somehow to use it.

I've always liked the Microlock but again you have to route the lines inside somehow.  Then easiest one to set up would be the B&M Launch Control of the Hurst Roll Control.

How do those things work? If they are like the old school highbeam switch, you could easily mount one on the drivers floor and click it on and off. You would not have to change any brake line routing either. Just splice some lines.

The electronic ones tap into the line where ever you want them to.  I believe it's best to put them closer to the brakes though.  A switch controls the solenoid that locks the brakes after you hold them.

It would be better to use a switch near your hands rather then a foot switch.  If you do more difficult trails, you would have to be very quick to unlock the brakes, them work the clutch and accelerator.

I like the mechanical ones. Don't want to bother with electrics and solenoids etc. Besides, they're expensive. Yeah, have to plumb it in the cab. Probably use some steel braided flexi lines.
