I owned a 2012 with wet brake. Keep it for 30K+ miles. Eventually the brake disc needed to be changed from normal wear. This required the transaxle to be removed and the case split open to gain access. Very expensive repair. Some of my friends with the same system had the half shaft in the trans axle fail. Again very expensive repair if you could get the parts. I would avoid buying an used one of these because of these issues. Yamaha went back to drum brakes when quiet tech came out. The newer carts are also slower which requires less brake because they reduced the HP/performance. I believe 2015 +-1 one year was the first one with drum brakes.
