I think, compared to my plane esc the breaks were more instantly. I guess, they're well manufactured. but it got warm. they claim to have high quality and ultra low restistance stuff, but it didn't stay cooler than the plane esc.
those breaks are not a permanent solution; I had the 200a plane esc as a short term thing (which became permanent). modded w/ some caps and a fan very solid, good throttle etc, but the breaks just suck, when you don't keep the mechanical breaks.
to be honest, in every day use, I don't see any better performance then my cheapo-plane esc (200a, looks like a suppo, dunno if it's one).
about the hardening, take it to the local shop to get it done properly, it's not that easy. they should do that for a few bucks, regarding how expensive this hobby is, its worth it. go with the pro.
