You’ll get used to it. Don’t be too worried to use drag brake as it will cause the car to handle erratic and 1/8 cars on out door 1/8 tracks don’t need it like, for ex, a 2wd buggy could benefit from it on a tight indoor track. Drag brake will bring down your run time and let’s say you race a 20min final at a local event, the brakes will be cooked by the end.
