Linc: Do you have a Titan 550 12T? Maybe other 12T motors are different, but the Titan does not brake well at all. Then again, maybe the motor is on it's way out anyway since I was running 10 cells on it in the Slash for a while.

Sounds like the problem, she's on her way out. Brushes provide all of the braking force in a brushed motor. When they start to wear out, the brakes go first, and after a while they go into "kick start" mode. You'll have to give it a nudge to get it going.
Being labeled as a "12T" motor, and having no experience other than seeing a few peoples problems with them... They're pretty cheap stockers. All of the closed endbell motors that I have run in the past have eventually had the "no brakes" problem though.
