I've got the punch set at 2, initial brake was at 2 I just reset it to 0, and the automatic brake is at 0. I just changed the initial brake but judging by sound it still seems like letting go of the throttle is the same as slamming on the brakes. Think maybe I'm running too much spring on the motor or is it a setup issue and not the brakes at all?
Haven't been running 1/12 long enough to give setup advice. However, a torquey motor like the P2K2 will have a lot of 'braking' action when letting off the throttle. You could try running larger rear tires to help keep the motor spinning, and/or bump up your transmitter neutral trim to a very slow roll.
