Sensored Brushless question
 

I've been running several sensored brushless motors in various rigs for awhile now and have been very happy with them except for the lack of drag brake (especially geared up for speed).

Once they get moving, the drag brake kicks in but that becomes a problem in alot of situations as well as the freewheel when you transition from drag brake to part throttle.

Is there any way to increase the drag brake?

What esc do you have? Can't you adjust it on the there? The other answer is to get worm gears"thumbsup"

there may be a way to increase but first we need to know what esc's you are running

The no drag during part throttle downhills is what made me give up on brushless in my comp trucks and IMO is the only downside to brushless. I've decided to deal with it in my scalers and love how smooth and torquey my 13.5 is compared to a outlaw 27 turn with extra speed to boot.

Only way I know to help your concerns is the 14mm rotors and I don't like the low end feel they have. Other than that it might sound funny, but a very light setting makes downhills alright, set it so it creeps down the hill with the drag on. Sometimes reverse works to slow it down also, but you need a smooth finger and lots of expo.

A 14mm rotor vs. a 12.5 mm rotor will have a significant effect on the drag brake (also top speed)
