I only brake when I get into the pits or if there is an accident on the track.

Challenger, gotta keep it smooth throughout your line. If you're running the front spool or diff, and you have straights at your track that you can max out RPM on, you have the advantage of late breaking. My straight is 200ft with a 60ft sweeper before and after. I can come into the last sweeper hot and keep a very mild throttle torward a hairpin. If I'm taking the inside line on another driver in the same sweeper, I go hot underneath and ride a slight break into the apex, crank it and blast out. Each racer you pass up has a different driving techique and a differnt line. If they're consistent, you'll know where to pass them and you'll know when to brake on em. Lock it up only when you're heading for trouble. Otherwise just keep it all smooth and consistant. If you're sporting the one-way, you should hardly be using the brakes.

Correct me if Im wrong........
Im not a pro drive.........and it is possible to drive without using brake, if one is driving alone in the track, coz there is no traffic.........but in a race..........some how one need brake to control the car from going out of racing line and avoiding crash.

In electric carpet racing, there is sooo much traction, you can use the cars momentum to throw you into the turns, if the car is setup right. My local nitro track gets sugared down pretty well, but it's still way looser than a carpet track. Heading into a corner to hot and you'll break traction throwing you out of your intended line. You also waste precious time trying to correct yourself.
My track layout changes every weekend. I've had layouts where I never needed the brakes, but then again, I also had a slower motor. If that's the case ...

Nothing, just a little insider trading. It'll disolve ... and to bring it back a notch, I say "true". RC is always evolving.
