Default Gen 8 drag break adjustment question

On the Gen 8 stock ESC can the drag break be adjusted? For my daughter and myself we both let off the throttle gently etc and we've not had a problem but in the hands of my 6 year old son it's often full throttle or no throttle or stop and after watching one to many endos figured I'd curtail his driving for a bit before he broke something.


I didn't know if there was away to set the drag break so it would coast a bit on the stock ESC.


Thanks
Jay

If I remember right, this ESC has tuneable drag break jumpers or dip switches. It has the location for each on the side of the ESC. The manual should have that information also.

Thanks for the info I'll try it in 50% and then 100%. I'm used to the ESCs in our short course trucks and setting them via the programming box or sets of flashes and was afraid it would be all sorts of a headache.


Take it easy
