How to: Mechanical brakes with reverse

[pinkpanda3310]

Can you mix 3rd channel to be reverse and reverse to be servo/brake?

I think I worked it out - mix the 3rd channel so the brake servo is like a drag brake, so it is on at neutral and off with throttle/reverse.

I considered doing this a while ago on my MBX5T-E but after a little thinking, I realised that the ESC will probably be trying to go into reverse all the time, even while braking.

Have you actually ran this setup, could you confirm if it does?
What ESC did you use?
