Default Drag Brake 4pk?

Anyone know if the 4pk has a drag brake feature and how do you set it for an electric setup? I found the NT Brake, but that seems like its more for a nitro setup as it just offsets the neutral point more towards the reverse side. I turned it on with my electric setup and all it did was send the esc more into reverse, rather then drag brake.

The transmitter will output brakes if you use drag brake on it. Therefore, if your ESC has reverse enabled, it'll eventually go into reverse. You can't do it properly with the transmitter if you have reverse enabled.

I used to use my 3PJS to trim it so the drag brake was correct, then use "throttle acceleration" or 'Th.Acc' to make it so when I barely pull the trigger, I'd get throttle response.

Just as an FYI, some ESCs may freak out and not arm if set up like this, so you may have to trim it to neutral when you power up, then trim it back after it arms. Just make sure to count the clicks so you know how many to go back.

If you have an ESC that has a 'drag brake' feature, it's much easier to adjust on the ESC.
