It should be able to spin around on the one track. The radius would be the width of the vehicle. If the vehicle is 7 feet wide, by the time it spins around, the total width would be 14feet.

The brake set up has been discussed on the forum before. Besides having the brakes adjusted properly, and all the linkages free, it also requires that the drums are turned smooth, and the shoes arced in to the radius of the drum. Without the full braking surface being utilized, it is hard to get the full potential out of the carrier.
