|  Drag Brake with cc Sidewinder
I put Sidewinder + 35T ( Sinner motor from R2J ) in my AX-10. I set the drag brake to 100% but it can't hold my rig either on vertical climb or downhill ? Is it normal or something wrong ? please help. Thanks. |

with brushed motors the brakes will be weak. especially if you're running a regular lathe motor. try some stronger springs

Or better yet,put a Cobalt puller in there. Standard mag motors all have a fair drag brake at best. A motor with cobalt magnets will have a stronger magnetic field from the stronger magnets,therefore a stronger drag brake.  | |

Guess I can try stiffer springs 'till I get the moolah for a more powerful motor,but his rig is a bone stock ARTR,stock gearing.I swear if he's at full speed & lets off the throttle his damn tires skid to a stop  |

Well in my Axial with TALLER gears,10t puller and a Mamba Max with 100% drag brake.....at times it has flipped itself over coming to a stop. Play around with your throttle and reverse curves also,that can help some. | |

Rooster is a HOLD brake.... Mamba's are a drag brake. I thought the same thing with mine. The motor has nothing to do with the hold brake on the Rooster.... it's just a feature of the ESC. IMO it's too much hold..... makes it hard to descend a steep grade without flipping forwards. When I get my rig back together im going to try the mamba and see how I like it. It is nice to just be able to STOP on a steep incline and regroup.

 my CC cable I'll try that.I see how too much brake can be a problem too,but it would be nice to have a bit more braking than I do so that I have the option 2 rethink my lines for a second.
