Have a question on that hand brake. Does it lock on, like an ebrake, or is that for drifting only?

It does lock. See the slotted area there's a drop down pole that wedges on the slots. Pretty cute design actually. They do say thou that hydro brakes aren' ment to be used as a stand alone park brake as if there's pressure loss the brake let's go. But for stop start use it' perfect
