mabe the guys with weak brakes need to clean out the motors? take the end off and blow it out with air and see if that helps?
a dirty/fuzzy internals caused me to get some throttle lag so why couldnt it affect the brakes too right?
just a thought

One factor that people with lack of brake strength have in common so far is tha the rollouts or FDR's are HUGE compared to us here in the states. Since the gearing is so tall it's harder to slow the car.
We are in working on an adjustment to compensate. Often times the brakes are turned down because they're too strong. I remember the first time I slammed the brakes in testing I stripped a spur!
We are going to make it right...

This has changed to
"... shown a pattern of non Tekin motors being a contributing factor ..."
I'm prepared to let my Tekin RS Pro sit on the shelf for a couple of months until a fix is found, however, if Tekin dont agree there is a problem or aren't prepared to do anything, then please let me know ASAP.

due to lack of an redline motor I'm running a speedpassion 4.5T/3.5T and I have a lot of brakes. Actually run them at 80% on the ESC and 80% on the TX.

Hi Guys
All these set-ups we are taking about are NEW, so contamination in the motor is not the issue. Also various motor have been tried.
We all have different radios and are all running 198.
We have all come from (or gone to) a different ESC and have noticed a difference in the brakes on the other brands (KO, LRP, Hobbwing). All others are much stronger at the start of a high speed stop.
One of the guys who has posted about the 'soft' brakes is a top level driver. He know what he is doing in terms of set-up.
My car will almost lock the wheels at slow speeds so this is not the issue. It is trying to pull it up from high speeds. You either need to brake early or over shoot the corner. We are not talking a massive amount here but just after a start when you have 6 equally quick guys coming off a very long fast sweeper into a hairpin you need brakes that are comparable to the rest of the field or you will be the cause of carnage.

First comment from Randy was:

"... We are going to make it right.. ..."

none of the guys running the rs pro and 13.5 here are experiencing the "weak brakes".....

The high speed brake issue is being addressed and hopefully it will be sorted in the v200 software as i think this is one of the delays with this software.
I dont mind waiting for the update and for know i just use a different racing line to compensate for the lack of top end brakes.

Mate i put up with the rs pro problems for months with the braking problem and just got told the same thing so now i run SPX and love it.It has brakes and im running high fdr so tekin is spining a load of sh#t about its the high fdr where running.And im running with other racers that have the rs pro and im much faster.Most of the racers are going spx now so its tekins loss.
(2) Unfortunately, all the people running the Tekin RS (Pro) on large, high speed circuits into a tight turn (eg: 1000' track length, 210' straight, running into high speed "S" turn), using a 10.5T BL (+ Boost) at 4.0/4.5T modified speeds, seem to be having the same problem (its an UNSTOPPABLE bullet). I guess its not limited to Australia (something to do with the southern magnetic pole). The vast majority of drivers buying a new speedy are going for the SPX.
(3) I'm surprisingly impressed with the Hobbywing Xerun - its a bargain, high performance, quality product. Nice LCD programming box as well.
(4) I'll use whatever does the job !!
Oh well, you live and learn

(1) I've alway used Tekin products starting back with the G12c, and have been quite happy.
