I can tell you that I have always been a fan of 100% punch coupled with 16,000 mhz on medium to low bite tracks. If I am spinning the wheels too much I back down the punch 5-10% at a time until I get it right.
When grip is a bit higher, I feel as though 16,000 mhz is too soft. I will drop down to 8000-9000 mhz range while keeping 100% punch. In order for you to find your sweet spot, just start at 16,000 and 100 and then drop down one step at a time until you are happy.
Very good points, thank you for the extra guidance.

Yes, the higher the PWM frequency the higher the temps will be, but the smoother/softer the brakes will feel. So far I am finding that I like lower brake PWM frequency with a lower percentage of total brake. This works to transfer weight and slow the car without being so strong as to unsettle the rear of the car in 2wd. I don't have enough time with 4wd to say if it is good yet, but I used the same brake settings as my stadium truck with my 4wd buggy and I do like it.
