The way I have set mine up is that I mix my aux channel on the receiver with my throttle channel. To do this you will have to read your radios manual. This means you plug the brake servo into the aux port on your receiver.

Setup the monster max with reverse disabled and don't worry about brakes as they won't have any effect on the esc.

One thing to check though is that your servo horn on your steering servo does not hit the brake servo. I discovered this issue on mine. I noticed I wasn't able to turn as much one way as much as the other. I had set the end points up so the servo didn't bind but this was reducing the amount of turn I had in one direction. When I tried to increase the endpoint I noticed it bound. It's hard to see the problem because it is up inside the chassis.
