ESC - Drag Brake?
Hi
Could someone explain what the drag brake setting is, what it does and what effect it has on the car (1/10 touring car)?

What ^ he said.
When you let off of the throttle and the trigger is at rest, a preset ammount of brake is immediately applied.

Thanks all. I read somewhere that drag brake should be reduced for low grip/ slippery surfaces?

I personally turn the drag right down until the car behaves well in the dead band relative to the track conditions. Just enough to behave like a engine/compression brake in a 1:1 car.

Personally I've moved away from using any drag brake at all, it's forced me to learn better throttle/brake control. Plus I have my brakes set so low that it only slows me down just enough to get the weight to transfer to the front wheels. Also, I've been told drag brake will increase heat in the motor as its like always have your brakes on.
