Default I get no low speed control when going down steep hill

I cant remember if I was able to get that real low speed crawl down a steep hill before, but when I give it the tiniest amount of throttle, gravity takes over and my wraith just starts to roll down the hill fast. The drag brake works fine on those steep hills, it has a nice slow speed drag brake. I have a tekin rs and a 13.5 tekin motor. Is there an issues here? what can my problem be?

Sounds like you need a castle link to turn up your drag brake. My rtr was set at 50% from the factory

i have it turned up all the way through hotwire. i thought drag brake is for when i let go of the throttle and have it the trigger neutral. what effects the low speed control when going down something?

Hmm I wonder what could be wrong, what Throttle profile do you have yours set at?
