Brake issues with CC1717 1580kv motor

[Bmr4life]

I have on in my DB17 with an MMM. Even with the brakes turned all the way down, the truck still does front flips if I grab the brakes to hard.

Anyone else experiencing anything like this? Of course it happens more on asphalt where the traction is higher.

I would suggest a couple things:

1) Tweak the brake curve itself on the castlelink so that is more gradual/ progressively stronger as you squeeze the brake harder, rather than being linear which is default.

2) Pump the brakes vs squeezing them as such, to simulate ABS- this works really well for me actually ( I either ended up with front flips or broken ankles no matter how I set the brakes in the early days, now I have them at ~40% and pumping them helps reduce endos greatly ).

Thanks for the tip. I adjusted the brake curve and it works awesome now. I may even be able to turn it up some. I can grab full brakes without worrying about flipping over, but it does take about 15 feet to stop from ~50mph.

15 feet is nothing for something that heavy, traveling that fast, takes me about that far to slow down my Gmaxx ( doesn't help that I'm a poor driver but all the same ).

I plan on making adjustments until it is almost lifting the rear end up. Then I know I'm stopping as fast as I can.
