The separate brake came as oem for Sally. There isn't one for the escalade.

if you still want it, ask the guys on that forum, or ebay. It's still going to be one of them selling it anyways.

My little girl never uses the brake.

even on the heavy escalade, the power cuts off right away when you take your foot off.

if the little one don't know how to brake yet, it's better to retrofit a remote kill switch

Okay, I need to modify those rubber stoppers or something than. As soon as you release the gas the rear wheels seem to lock up and skid. It doesn't roll freely. Maybe I don't need the brake, but I think I need to remove whatever is stopping the rear wheels from rolling when you lift off the gas. Pretty irritating having it lock up and skid every time you life throttle.
