Oh, thats actually pretty simple for me, I have it all worked out. I will program the ESC as normal on the throttle channel. Full brake will actually be "full brake" on my transmitter (with no tricks). Neutral be neutral, throttle be throttle.

Then, channel 3 will be mixed in (since my CRX has channel mixing) to operate the servo for the brakes. The Servo's EPA will be set so it does not move (or moves very little) while throttle is applied.

Thus, when I power up, I hold full brakes (arming the ESC and applying the actual brakes at the same time), and then drive as normal.

If the ESC somehow has a problem seeing full brake every so often (when I am braking), I will simply make two profiles. 1 that has the EPA for full brake on the ESC channel set to normal, so I can arm it, and the other one set to 0, so the ESC never actually receives any brake level signals - just neutral to throttle. (The CRX's have 20 model profiles, so I don't care wasting 2, even 5 on one truck...since I'm only using like 2 between the two trucks I am using it on right now, and one of these will be sold to help fund this project).

Edit: Which HV are you using star? The 85 or 110?
