Chad, you are probably right. Maybe i didnt give my motor brakes enough of a chance.
I think someone mentioned that those holes were possible for the brake pads, but i doubt it as there is no location for fitting a brake cam.

Using mech brakes gave me peace of mind about overloading the ESC, but i guess once i go 9s and use an HV castle system, it should be able to handle any spikes in current regenerated much better than the current MMM (my lipos are up to the task too, Hyperion 35c 6500mah).

I also doubt that mech brakes are going to stand up to the high heat temps generated when im using 9s and doing speed runs...

What do most people set their ESCs braking at? I want to be able to slam on the brakes and prevent the truck flipping. Is that around 30%?
