There are 3 main reasons why I run electric brakes on my car;

#1 Space. Where is there room for them?

#2 Weight/complexity.

#3 Time to make and work out the bugs.

Innitially I wanted to make mechanical brakes. But, I found the electric brake to be perfectly fine even the poor HV110 brakes. It just takes a little fiddling to get the setting correct in the ESC.

The car stops wonderfully. Nic Case struggles with braking more than anything else. I have never had a problem getting the car to stop.

However, that being said, if I already had a car with mechanical brakes, I would definately use them.
