New hi-speed project

[BrianG]

Yeah, for your vehicle, elec brakes probably works ok, but this is a relatively large and heavy 8th scale, and I don't wanna push things too far (like I'm not attempting to do that anyway ). This is the first conversion where I'm using mech brakes, but that's because all the other ones are 14 NiMH cell, 4s, and 2s setups.

I agree.

Oh, one thing with electronic brakes, if you have an electronic glitch, it is possible to lose brakes. It has happened to me twice. I had to stop by weaving to scrub speed, then turning hard to spin the car. Not good.

But, that was with my MGM ESC. The HV110 has been alot more stable and glitch free.

I will say, each time I break 100, I worry about stopping. Ideally I need redundant braking.

Have you given those air brake systems any thought?
