I've only driven with front brakes once, when I tested the Aixro kart, and I have to say it was incredible. Half the day was wet and I can't say I changed my driving style much then, but as it dried out the brakes really did blow me away! When it was bone dry how late you could brake really was crazy, the kart is way more stable under braking and as has already been pointed out, I was driving it more and more like a car than a kart.

The stopping power, coupled with the crazy speed of the Aixro really was a shock to the system, and my arms ached the day after just from holding myself steady under braking, it really does stop that quickly! Would have to agree with Itpro though, personally wouldn't want to see it on anything other than Gearbox / Aixro karts as it is much less spectacular than the traditional rear brake only.
