I tried playing around with it in both my E-Revo and Revo conversion on my 3PM-X. The E-Revo would judder, more or less violently depending on the settings, and the Revo conversion would be not very noticeable (mechanical brakes). I think to truly have a setup in need of ABS, you have to have an extremely rigid brake servo mount and a fast high-torque servo...I have neither, as I am running the stock Traxxas servo box and a Tower Hobbies TS-140.

I'm not a racer, so who knows? It may provide some benefit. All it did was bother me when I had to disable it to calibrate the ESC's I was testing with the chassis, and it does continue pulsing (squeek squeek squeek squeek) after you've come to a stop. For me it's just a novelty, it's not like my braking setup is capable of locking the wheels anyway.

I agree with everyone, try play with ABS braking and see if it's for you...just don't push your ESC to its voltage limits due to the increased number of spikes it will see.

...ABS breaking, on the other hand...
