Most RTRs come with non-programmable ESCs, but you can hack it to get the brake power you want. I show you how on a Team Associated Rival MT10.

    Awesome information. I'm sure this will work on the Arrma ESC's in my cars. Can't wait to try this out and stop the awkward landings and even front flips under strong braking. Might not go to 4 but will test around 5 maybe as you need a good amount of brake for the 6s cars. Thanks for this well explained tip!

    cool, I think the Arrma ESCs are programmable using the Hobbywing LED card, so you can buy that and set your brakes in the ESC the proper way. This is more of a hack/workaround if the programming cards don't work.

    Do you lose throttle trigger range / modulation when you do this...meaning is full throttle now half way through the trigger pull? I'd like to very much try this out but modulating the throttle on my brushless Pro2 SC10 is already hard enough I don't want to make that any more difficult if the throttle sensitivity is changed via this.

    no problems, modulation will be exactly how you think it should be. Btw, the radio is pretty poor on modulation in general, it's part of what makes the Pro2 so hard to drive.

    just to clarify at the end, does this mean that by limiting the brakes, we also have to have limited throttle because the dual rate can't go above where it was set when we're differentiating the throttle/brake values during this process? I couldn't do all this and then set the dual rate back to max and go full speed with the lessened brakes, because that would be like setting the brakes back to 100% and the throttle to 150%?
