Anyway, I put thicker shock oil (30wt) in the shocks and it handles much better. I might even go thicker.

The electric brakes on the HW esc are very strong - I did a front flip when I slammed the brakes on today (I think I have them programmed to 50%, but I'll have to check). But this truck is running pretty well.

I think its more so the 1717 having an immense amount of braking power.

That might be the reason - All I know is that these brakes are much stronger than the mechanical brakes I was using on my other large-scale build.
