RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - mm brakes...can they react like nitro brakes?

Motor brake is not "on/off" but can feel like it, especially at speed. This is because the braking effect is directly related to RPM. The more RPM, the more braking effect per input. If you apply 10% brake at 5mph it will probably take the same distance to stop as 10% brake at 10mph. Its very weird and takes getting used to, but I find that motor brakes usually end up being a more powerful brake than most mechanical systems out there, though mechanical systems are much smoother and more predictable.

I personally would like to use the Revo brake system on all my vehicles, since its not only extremely powerful but very predictable and consistent.
