A bit of an observation from me on this topic. Got two 1/10 ep 4wd buggies. One belt driven and the other shaft drive. To get the same coasting feel, I’ve actually needed to set my drag brake to zero for the belt drive car as opposed of having a little drag brake dialled for the shaft drive... Drivetrain design makes a difference too on the setting

You necro'd a 2+ year old thread with little to no constructive input?
Drag can be helpful, it all depends on how you use it. You can still glide through a corner, it just requires a bit of positive pressure on the throttle, which some people find easier to maintain than the slight brake pressure needed to avoid understeer on corner entry. I know I struggle with consistent application of very slight brake inputs, so running 10-15% drag brake helps me immensely on carpet. Some of our local sponsored experts run rediculously high drag brake settings (like 50%+). Like anything setup related, let your lap times decide.

I use 7% drag brake myself and it does not make the nose point down. like others have stated I also like it and find it easier to initiate the corners rather then tapping the brake then getting back on the gas
