I just looked and no I do not think you will need another servo but even with or with out front brakes you need a good high torque servo. Are you having problems with your rear brakes?

I am also thinking about integy. it is less expensive. one thing I concern about is the black metal post keep rubbing the hole . will the hole be getting bigger and bigger being rubbed by the black metal post ?

From experience I will not run anything Integy. You get what you pay for. After getting the Integy and making all the modification let us know how much time, aggravation and money you have in it.
Good Luck

For the integy brakes, the triangle that holds the cables is improperly designed. Whoever designed that has no clue of 3 dim geometry and thus when you hit the brakes, that triangle piece simply torques over without putting much tension on the 2 brake lines to actuate the fornt brakes.

To remedy this, Dont put the pull linkage on the single top hole of that triangle. Instead, put it in the middle hole to minimize the moment and thus more tension is applied to the 2 brake lines to give you that front brake stopping power you are after.

I've had my Integy brake kit since they came out and I think they are great except for that center travel rod it is a PITA when you want to remove the radio box.. I also did not like the original wire in the cable but 5.50 bike cables from walmart and tha twas an easy fix, and now I have enough to more if the cable "would" ever break...
