I have found the "electric" brakes to be stronger than any servo mechanical brakes... you can do instant front flips with BL brakes.

One of the most-asked question I get from the nitro racers is "what about brakes?"... they think it won't have good enough brakes. Then they see it and can't believe it.

The MM has so much brake that I have it dialed out to about 30% to keep it from locking up the tires.

My brother in law's JATO takes forever to stop with the stock servo setup. He needs to get a stronger servo int here....
