losi esc neu combo....?

[mxsxwannabe]

My mamba monster went bye bye its in for repair. I got the losi ESC it seems to be built better than the Mamba. But my problem.....

When I apply the brakes it makes a popping sound and the motor stops instantly! I mean instantly where i feel it would damage the motor.

I have it set to only 10% brakes w/no reverse
checked the diffs, no stripping found, not even wear.

Are these compatible? The Neu 1515/1Y Mamba combo were great but the Mamba Esc Died on only 4s 25C 15T
