Your gearing choices will be limited based on motor diameter vs the brake disc. You can only get so small a pinion to mesh with the spur gear while avoiding the brake disc. If using a large diameter motor, you would need a larger pinion gear in order to allow the motor to clear the brake disc.
Likewise, you would need a servo and appropriate linkage to actuate the brakes. in order to install a servo, you need a place to install it. Our motor mount will accomodate the front brake setup(required to clear the spur gear, which is reversed with our motor mount as well as others).
