Want to avoid the heat generated from braking force.
Then go esc and motor cooler.
And I'll run with CC Probec, Savöx 7.4 steering servo.
Do you not think its a good ide?
It's fine if you want to run mechanical brakes, it just isn't necessary. The esc will not overheat or overload if you use standard esc braking. It's just more simple not to use a splitter + servo + brake.
You are right, just plug a splitter into slot 2 and plug the esc + brake servo into the splitter.
