Motor brakes or mechanical?

I disagree. These brushless motors can brake just as powerfully as they accelerate, and both have the power to luck up the wheels, which makes the braking power equal because once the wheels lock traction is lost and no extra amount of power will help.

I prefer motor brakes. They are simpler, and mechanical brakes can heat up and fade during a race, motor braking will never do that.
