NE one run mech. brakes on Bl 8th buggy?

[joeling]

Hi,

Indeed I am using mechanical brake because I had bad experience with brake fade on the BK9920. Also, I can't get my mind round the fact that with the esc brake, only the the centre spur is stopped but the front/rear drive shaft is still free to move.

I run my BK 9920 in forward only mode to conserve the esc a little as I live in a tropical country where heat is an issue. Like crazyjr said, I am using the third channel of my radio with program mixing to activate the brake servo.

Ok, then for those of you that run brakes on 8th scale buggies, do you run center and rear brakes or just one or the other?
