to me one advantage is, i liked it how on brushed motors it wont coast that long..and the disadvantage would be for jumps...it will prollly bring my nose down.

I understand why there was confusion...
let me rewrite your thread for you....
i currently have my drag brake off.
if i set it to 10%, will i notice a slight decrease in runtime ?
I was thinking it would because instead of coasting (which uses no battery) now its applying some brake.
also what are the advantages and disadvantages to having a drag brake set.

They thought you actually WERE losing run time.

If I understand their answers correctly...
You should see some INCREASE in run time.
The brake actually takes unused energy back from the motor and puts it into the batteries during braking.
--brian can explain this better i'm sure...or correct me if i'm wrong
