4 wheel hydraulic disc brakes...Why Not??

PipeMajor

I had been planning on upgrading my TXT to 4 wheel hydraulic disc brakes. Now I see that the one company that had sold this product(wheelsca.com), has discontinued them due to the high cost of some component in the kit. I know that I can get front hydraulic disc brakes through Jakes, and there is also the Ausco mechanical rear disc brakes. My question is, why has no manufacturer brought a 4 wheel kit to market? It seems to me that there would be a very large demand for it. I'm just scratching my head thinking this is a demand that needs met. I guess I'll go with the Ausco kit from ScottyB.

It was a pretty good system, Carts Unlimited provided the guinea pig for the very first install and we were a dealer for many years. I also thought there would be a huge demand for the product. The problem was most DIYers have no hydraulic brake experience and the small lines and reservoir made bleeding the system a real struggle.

The cable disc brakes are a breeze... see my install thread in the stickies

Scotty, I read your brake install and you made it look easy. And I'm sure it's easy unless the cart has a bolt that's been underwater for like.....ten years and is melted to whatever it's connected to!

But you are selling the Ausco brake kit for the rear only? Is that correct?

Yes, that's all they make because ......... drum roll ...... that's all you need
Look at the expense too, I bought that hydraulic kit for my monster gas build- it was like $880.
And the Ausco brakes are $269
