Default savage center diff?

I have made a center Diff for my savages that goes inside the transmission on the final drive so that you still have the functions of the two or three speed if I want or I can just run a High speed flux idler gear and race my savage in the truggy class legal like

However this is where the issue comes in once I put it in the truck I loose front breaks. Anyone have any ideas on how to attach breaks to the front drive? Anything from a buggy or truggy that you may know of would be helpful just trying to brainstrom ideas.

I’ve added a center diff to the Tmaxx transmission and had to fabricate a rear brake setup.
Not a lot you can do other than start measuring and cutting some adapters out of whatever is necessary to mount the calipers/pads and disk to the tranny housing and/or the chassis.
Designing the rear brake was harder than adding the 1/8th scale diff inside the transmission.

All I did was find a diff housing that would fit in the bottom of the trans case. Cut the shaft in half that runs through it and machined and drilled the ends down to fit in the diff case. Used a blank sheet of alum to seal the diff case and drill the bottom gear to bolt to the diff case. Simple and took less than 2 hours. I believe the diff case was out of some 1/10 scale
