RJ - Agree 100% with everything your said - The question wasn't which is better for an experienced racer (fully acknowledge the f/r bias option with mech brakes).

The question was battery life - I'm not sure how much longer you get with ESC braking and if it would be noticeable but the "theory" backs elec has less weight, less power requirents i.e. servo, and regenerative breaking and hence should offer longer run time however marginal.

Mike has previously stated a combination of both mech and elec probably offers the "best" setup but for "most" of us bashers and "sunday" racers esc braking will surfice.
