Question.. cant get my head around it.

u put brake servo on channel 3
you mix channel 2+3
you set channel 2 BR EPA on radio to 0 (so ESC does not do anything when u push brake)
you set channel 3 FR EPA on radio to 0 (so nothing happens when you push throttle)

and on ESC you either disable braking if possible or set it to lowest setting

of course you will loose reverse.

good motor/ESC can stop 5kg truck - my Neu + MGM can stop my maxx without any issues and i have to have brake EPA set to 75% as anything higher is just too much

You don't have to loose reverse with mechanical brakes if the nitro version already has reverse. I used to have a brushless MGT with mechanical brakes, and I kept the 3rd channel for reverse. I didn't have to do any channel mixing, either.

hi

i personally would recommend to lock the transmission in first gear.
we once tested the 2speed in the savage with mechanical brakes. no track runs just bashing in the pit as usual. we had several issues with it so after some month we moved back to the locked transmission and motor brake. much smoother.

bye
