If i understand, the value 8 in the parameter B is suppose to give a 3 secondes of delay before engage the brake, that's right????
So in 3 seconde, this is enough time to the mechanical brake to did the job...
If someone have others suggestion, fell free to tell it to me

I start to have somes regrets to not have take the Quark, on the Quark, the brake can be disable......

Just another question, is i'am better to use an linear BEC or a switching BEC with the MGM?? I know that this controler have already a powerfull BEC on it, but i prefered to run an external one.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, 3 sec. should be plenty of time LOL. The BEC on my 16016-3s and on my 8012-3s are working fine. I like to use rx packs because I like to place them where it will give me some extra balance on my set ups. The external BEC seems to fail a little more then the rx pack.

3 secs???

I thought that was part of the boat mode, where it doesn't brake but reduce rpms over a given interval. As I understand it (god knows reading that manual tho) that option 8/B would set brakes to hardest. Are you aiming to put it into boat mode then?

who's say thrue???? finnster or Lutach???
If it's Finnster, i'am not on the good way to run my mechanical brake

I've e-mail this question to Mike, and that's what he reply to me:

Set the controller for forward/brakes and use the lightest brake setting on
the controller. If you have an adjustable endpoint setting (EPA) on your
transmitter, you can pretty much disable the little brakes you would have
left. :)

So i don't already have my controler, i'll try it asa i'll receive it, but if somebody here could try it and leave feedback, that's will be nice!!

Tomorrow I'll try the 3 sec setting to see if it works. I'll report it here.
