I highly recommend the ReadyBrake system. You could buy an entire Readybrake system for not much more than what US Gear wants to charge you for that controller that failed on yours. No electronics, nothing to fail and over-brake your toad or cause other problems. Just simple, no-nonsense cable-operated brake system that simply works, period. Almost anything that *might* one day wear out or break with the Readybrake can be bought from a local hardware store for less than $20. Its the only system I'll own.
I assume that the ready brake (surge brake) system has a damper (like a shock absorber) to minimize hysteresis - is the damper adjustable to suit the mass of the toad?
