Oh, yeah, you get an increase in braking strength with a more powerful (or better tuned) motor.

And the ESC makes a big difference on that: my LRP Flow and Reedy Blackbox 410R both have strong braking, but my SkyRC Toro 1S120A is very weak, with the same motors!

I'm usually not concerned about braking strength, it's usually more than enough, and I just turn down the endpoint on my transmitter (except for my SkyRC Toro!).
