Its not needed the ESC and motor are not stressed under 60mph...

It just adds extra complexity - Unless you go fancy on brakes they are likely to overheat themselves.

Personally I direct wire the servo to the BEC and have the ESC power the RX. I makes it easier for connecting to the castle link.

I think I may test without mechanical brake and see if it will be good.
You've tested so it should go fine.
And it's much easier to connect everything.
Thanks

I also run a hitec servo off the esc, which makes things much simpler.

People have been running "HV" servos at 7.4v because 7.4 is a bigger number than 6.

A hitec servo at 6 volts is plenty strong enough to turn the wheels. People just like to brag about bigger numbers.
