I would use the esc brakes for the rear, and a set of mech brakes for the front. Use a radio like the m11 that has a dedicated throttle slave channel to mix the front brakes and you are good to go. Front wheels do 60+% of the braking anyways, and I always disliked the stability issues that rear only brakes cause during hard stops.

Good to hear the omgwtfbbq esc can handle 8s with braking, but I would have really like a 10s esc with brakes. I will hold out for the 12s model I think, as my selection of lower kv motors will suit it better.
