I bought this initially to game on but I loved it so much that I wanted to really race it. I went and got a used go cart engine, hooked it up, fabricated an axle and wheels. This thing shreds! I personally dislike braking systems so I didn't install one, if you think they're worth the investment you could do it. Anyway, I just ordered a grappling hook for 5.99 with a 500 ft bungee rope, affixed it to the rear bumper and when I want to stop I toss it at the nearest tree and bam you're done! You probably want to set up a "parking pole" in your back yard so when you head on in there you can chuck the grappling hook and just keep doing circles around it until the cord is nice and raveled properly- the wife will appreciate the cleanliness.
