Default Drag Brakes

Is there a way to tone down the drag brake at all, it's too strong for my liking.

I don't think it has a drag brake, it's just so light it doesn't rolll

add some weight to it... wont notice the drag as much and it'll crawl a whole lot better anyways.

I ended up rolling the forward throttle trim up a little but, on flat ground it'll roll a maybe a foot after I let off of the throttle.

Are you guys complaining about the stock drag brake? It was way too soft for my liking...It couldnt keep the thing from rolling forward on a 15 deg incline!

I wish mine was stronger! I like letting off the throttle, and having that thing stop on a dime, especially on incline/declines.
Without a drag brake, you couldnt have precise control of the thing. Unless you like trying to tune your throttle trim all the time.

If you are talking about the stock esc the drag brake is built in and can not be changed.

When i let of the throttle it jerks to a stop sometimes lifting one of the rear tires off the ground. But on the flip side it will roll down inclines.
