Another thing to think about with mech brakes is that you really need a 3 channel radio with mixing and epa to get the best out of the setup. If you just use a y cable to split the throttle channel the brake servo will be moving the entire time you on throttle, and if you go from full throttle to full brake you will have lag as the servo has to go thru its full travel to apply full brake. If you mix the 3rd channel you can set the epa so that the servo does not move until you go from neutral to brake. This speeds up braking quite a bit. I noticed this with my revo that used mech brakes, and eventually changed to a 3pm radio that would allow for mixing. I have gone back to motor braking for everything now, just do not think mech brakes are necessary for my uses. I will have mech brakes on the baja, but that is due to waning front brakes, and the baja is heavy. Plus I plan to use an air esc as nothing car based is available in 12s (and my budget).
