+3 for metalMan's idea.
Its even worse at low speeds with a high Kv motor. I run a 7700 and when it it geared high (20/87) I have to up the brake so it will stop but when I run a much smaller pinion (15) I have to change the brake curve because it locks up to easily. High Kv motors don't put out enough back EMF to fight against, unless they are spinning faster (numerically higher gear ratio). They are going to have lower braking than a low Kv motor. II have to drop the braking from about 75% to about 40% when switching from my 7700 to say my 4436 Feigao using the exact same gearing.
