I'm going to start playing with the motor brakes again and see how it goes but I'm not too keen on the two speed. I had a two speed on something else many years ago and it drove me crazy. Too much hassle. How much drag brake are you using if any? What's your gearing? __________________ Slash 4X4 PE - MMPro, TeknoRC M6 Drive shafts E-Revo Brushless Edition - Mamba Power Baby!!

My gearing is based on a 1700 kv motor and 5s LiPo, so not sure if it will help you. Spur 44T and 18T pinion.

Drag brake I'll have to check with computer.. I pretty sure it's set to minimum. Current limit is way up though, close to 70% .. then again motor is a 1700 kv.
