i just run motor brakes and just tip the trigger there strong !
i still new to 1/8 e coming from nitro.
to me i got into "1/8 e truggy" to have less hassle and less things to go wrong so im not running any extra servos for mechanical brake .
i only use the brakes while in the air if needed and if im on a big straightaway going into a turn .
the slower turns i just roll into them than get on the throttle .
