Watch the fast guys - they use brakes a lot.
I would suggest setting drag brake low - 5-10% - and learn how to use brakes. In your esc, set max brake force to 85% ( it may be 87.5, I forget ). If you can, assign a dial or trim switch on your radio so you can adjust your brake dual rate on the drivers stand.
Off road, you use brakes in the air off the jumps - if you have a lot of drag brake enabled, it will pitch the nose down coming off the jumps. Again, watch the fast guys off the jumps, you will see the car pitch change in the air and you will hear the motor change from throttle to brake. Also note - if the nose pitches down to much, you can use throttle briefly to lift it back up.
And always helps to have an experienced driver try your car.
