Default Any working brake?

Does anyone actually make working brake for 1/10 on road car? The closet example i could find is this http://www.liverc.com/news/special_features/4886-LiveRC's_Erik_Jensen_"Front_Brakes"_2wd_offroad_tr uck_project_(with_video)/
This is a curious question more then anything, thought it would be an interesting thing on a rc car.

No, the increase in mass wouldn't be worth it when most modern ESC's can provide enough braking power to lock the drive wheels on their own if desired.

I could understand why it is not used for competitive racing but for 2wd car or drifting i could see some people wanting it to add scale realism. Just surprised no one has at least try it
