ESC's with Hold Brakes

[RickM]

I have been on the steep end of the learning curve about braking lately and am learning there is a difference between drag and hold brake. What esc's out there offer a hold brake? I hear the Holmes torquemaster has hold. I hear the Mamba does not have a hold and I can say first hand the tekin does not have a hold brake. Any thoughts?

i dont know what you would consider a hold brake but the rooster has what i would call a parking brake.

The Holmes Hobbies Torquemaster ESC has "holmes hold" which is a very good hold brake.

i was having problems with the drag brakes on my dual fxr/3pk berg. i had the neutral width on both fxr's set to 6 and was having problems with the rig rolling back sometimes and not digging very sharp(rear wheels were rolling slightly). the rear axle was also spinning faster than the front axle, so i was having to adjust the throttle mix with the radio to make them close to the same speed. i just changed the neutral width to 20 and it seems to have fixed all of my issues!

The Mamba Max Pro has a crawler specific drag brake setting. It works great.
