Default Mongoose drag/hold brake

Just installed the goose brushless esc motor tonight and went for a test drive on the couch. I have the drag setting on 8 and the profile on expo and I noticed on my test cushion that the drag setting was stoping the truck but not holding it. It woulod stop and then gently roll down the incline. Does anyone know if I am missing something?

Try bumping the break up to 10? How extreme was the angle?

If your rig is heavy there's only so much a break can do.

Default I think the highest I can go is 8.

I am running the system brushless so the highest I can go is 8 I believe. Went out for a bit and it worked pretty well tonight.

Default hang tight on that one

I just went out tonight and my truck was rolling some. This lack of brake is dissapointing.

What's the rest of your setup?
How steep is the angle when you say it's still "rolling some"? Only the very strongest of ESCs and Motors are going to hold you tight, in one spot and not let you move at all. If you're at a steep angle and you have a heavy rig, it's gonna creep.
