The brake is proportional, that means the further the throttle is from neural the more intensive the brake is. The intensity of braking in the max throttle position may be set in parameter "B". When braking the car will stop, and not start moving backwards until you move the throttle to neutral and then again backwards. Connected braking lights are turned on when braking.

I would actually disagree with MGM's statement about this. Just this weekend I was doing speed runs with my Rustler and MGM Compro 12012 (newest version as far as I am aware) with 4s Lipo and a Feigao 540 12s. Since its BEC is putting out the full battery voltage (I know, it's strange) I have to use an external BEC. The XUS Hobby UBEC induces glitching, so my range isn't the greatest. Anyways, to maximize my acceleration distance I had to brake as late as possible. Most of the time when I hit full brake when going full throttle, it resulted in the tires spinning in full reverse while my car was going 50mph! Obviously that isn't a good thing, and was very annoying. I've also noticed that the MGM is finnicky in general. Sometimes going from a low throttle position to neutral causes it to do the brake thing (no "freewheel") like the older versions did, even though I have it set so that it will "freewheel".
Now to the likes: fully adjustable acceleration and braking, and a LVC for Lipos that kicks in at 3.1v/cell with a hard or soft cutoff, or no cutoff at all.
