Mechanical brakes - is it worth it??

[Cain]

Big battle about this on rctech not long ago. looking at how the really great drivers were driving at the last race I attended, looks like they were using bias to help them get around certain turns where I would coast at a certain point, turn, and then punch out (me using an electric RCPD conversion buggy, no mechanical brakes).

I would think though (and someone else is working on this) that you could replicate the effect of braking bias by using a clicker oneway setup similar to what losi did with the XX4. you could then dial in how the clicker would react changing the braking feel between the front and rear of the vehicle. You would then get a very close braking bias effect, and no need to lug around the extra servo or other items specific to that setup on the vehicle.
