mamba max very weak braking...why?

[blueb8llz]

so i finally got the chance to solder the motor wires back (been very busy and non rc status) and the ones that said i was geared too high, was correct. i was geared 25/86 with a 6900kv mamba in a rusty with stampede tires/wheels.

i put in a 19t pinion and it has maximum braking now. itll do those 180 to 360 degrees spins when i brake now .
but the top end still looks to be about the same speed. but the low end is defininetly punchier. but still no wheelies.

im gonna try a 16t pinion and see if that will make my top end quicker. if what j57ltr is true about gearing lower for more speed (two post above) then it should do the same for my rustler.
