Do this, pop that thing into low gear and put it in the same position and tell me if it will move/slide/fall or not. I'm just curious about the acutal necessity of brakes.

Well at 30 degrees It would most definitely slide down with our transmissions. How did you implement the brakes though? Did you just set the brake jumper on the victor, or actually design a mechanical brake?
