Phil runs the Reventon Pro in his stock tc and likes it. The brakes are a touch on the soft side though....

I used them a little on the old layout, but I just realized I never once used them, even with no drag brake, on the new layout.

I use lots of drag brake. Brakes are a key to making a consistent car IMO. Also there nice if you need to push into a corner harder and slow down faster!

Thanks for the inside info!

My main concern with the LRP is durability. I had two LRP Stock Spec ESC's and the cases on both cracked open, causing both ESCs to fail eventually.

That said, the Flow looks a lot more durable. I'm just wary of buying another LRP after losing $400 worth of electronics in one year. I don't mean this as an insult to LRP at all, just a nagging concern I have and something I hope to avoid in the future of course. Again, I think it was the plastic design of the Stock Spec case, and I've seen that the Flow has an aluminum case, which is excellent.

Anyway, thank you again for the info everyone! It's also nice to hear what battery brands people recommend, thanks for that too!

Peace,
Samwise

The last time you used brakes was back in 1976 to stop for that hot chick you are with Just keep Kody in front of you, he has enough brakes for two cars

That's the one that caused Ronald Volker to DNS an ETS race last year, because he blew up all his ESCs. Those were development version, but still fun to bring that up!

I've always been curious about trying an LRP, since the guys that run them insist they're awesome. But then I see how many people, not just "on the internet" but actual locals I race with, have had reliability problems, followed by horrible customer service, and it makes me wary, too.

Its personal preference...even in stock... Some guys like to use alot of push brake instead of drag brake. Others like a bunch of drag brake so they dont need to use as much push brake.

It does seem that most world class drivers like tons of drag brake these days..

I believe using alot of drag brake is faster, but it can take some time to get used to.

My timming arn't that great for drag brake..you have to get back on throttle as soon you done drag braking ...

To me, drag brake would feel like the old brushed motors, which would actually be kinda nice.... back then NO drag brake was needed lol.
