You get 5 brake profiles. Each brake profile can have it's 'inital' rate set as a percentage and there's also a check box for drag brake.
If you tick drag brake it activates whatever you set as the initial percentage.

Does that make sense?

I'll try and take a screenshot of it's settings.

We have quite a few drivers in 17.5 blinky who have suddenly realised that they make a very smooth blinky ESC. Pity they are so expensive to begin with.
