Interested to see/hear your experience.
that means when you punch the brake ...it will slowly engage (like slowly pressing the brake pedal in real cars) at 40... If the Inital brake is set at 0 then the brake is instant.
This happens in all of my hobbywing escs XR10 Pro V3.1 Spec and Orion R101.1 pro

with my trackstar esc, it’s opposite. At 0 setting there is almost no brakes. At 40 I feel the brake instantly

and after changing the initial brake force setting only.



Nice testing. Looks like your average time was just a hair slower after the adjustment. What's your feeling on it overall?

All winter, I found myself slower for few runs after a brake adjustment. Had t find the new braking zone on the layout. Stock was usually 10-12 feet from turn, now it’s more 8-10 feet. It does feel more stable and predictable. And times were more consistent. I’ll take consistent over a random fast lap.
