The Lucas has a reputation beyond repute

It may be alright to use the brake function on your drive system if you have two drive motors, but definitely not if you have four drive motors. The two different types of motors will brake at different speeds, fighting each other along the way. This could destroy carpet, gears, motors, etc.
