## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `maxTorqueFront` | `number` | no |  |  | Brake torque in N·m at ONE front wheel at full brake input, zero or more. Divided no further: this is per wheel, not per axle. |
| `maxTorqueRear` | `number` | no |  |  | Brake torque in N·m at ONE rear wheel at full brake input, zero or more. |
| `handbrakeTorque` | `number` | no |  |  | Brake torque in N·m at each wheel whose `handbrake` is true, zero or more. It is independent of maxTorqueFront/Rear and of bias, so a handbrake turn is tunable without touching the footbrake. |
| `bias` | `number` | no |  |  | Fraction of braking effort sent to the FRONT axle, 0..1; the rear gets the remainder. 0.6 is a normal front-biased road car. Applied on top of each wheel's own `braked` fraction, so the two multiply. |
