i had to try and brake soo much earlier , and i felt like i would be loosing soo much time off throttle etc ..
my settings are ..
initial braking force 40%
reverse force 100%
brake force 100% and the brake force on my transmitter set to max ...
cheers for your help
40% drag brake! That will bring it to a virtual standstill when you lift off...
First thought is that you haven't recalibrated the speedo to the radio after changing software, or that a trim has got knocked out of place.
Second thought is that putting transmitter settings to "max" might be confusing the setup. Set them to "100%", which is often less than the maximum, depending on the transmitter.
Third thought is that your motor has gone soft. If it is an old SS with the bonded rotor, they don't brake as well as the sintered rotors that most other contemporary motors have.
