Yes....mine does not skid to a stop on pavement but I don't race on pavement.
I only drove on pavement to get a baseline for braking power so I could dial down the brakes so the belt does not skip. Even when I adjust for the belt skipping it is too much brake power. At the track I had to adjust even lower to stay under control and not send the truck flipping over its nose.
You do not want to run full braking power on a high power 4x4.
When setup to race on the track you don't want to skid to a stop.
Think of it as ABS. You want a controlled stop.
My truck stops pretty damn fast even dialed down so as not to skip the belt.
I can launch off of a quad, backside the jump landing, and stop within a foot without skidding and keep the truck straight.
Any more braking power and I will send the truck over it's nose tumbling.
