Default Brakes!!

Hey guys, I am building a new RC car from scratch, it's all hammered out...except for one thing. Brakes. My plan right now is to use a mechanical disc brake (like the ones used on bikes) but with a smaller disc, so that it will work on my RC. I need to know what kind of servo can pull with this force though. Because my servo if pulled one way, will act as the throttle, and the other way as the brakes. So, can anybody suggest a Servo for this? Thanks.

Not 100% sure on actual size. Looking at about 18-20 inches long, 10 tall and 10 wide.

**P.S. xzavin is my friend that is helping me with this project. He posted this before I got this account, but I am just going to take care of the forum stuff myself now.
