Benzaah,
The D3 does sound like a good motor and may well have stronger brakes but my complaint is with the delay in the braking effect from high speed and not the overall power. This delay effect is the same with the X12 and the Novak SS so I'm guessing its an ESC issue. The brakes were very good on the X12 with my previous SXX StockSpec ESC and perfectly adequate with the SS.
Thank you for the D3 tip though as I have been considering a new motor for more speed
