Default Who runs drag brake?

I'm fairly new to buggies lads and when i raced touring cars they were brushed.

I run my LRP SXX v1 on the first setting for drag brake, however i've been considering turning it off to deter my car from nose diving over jumps. Does anyone else turn theirs off for this reason?

Or do most just compensate by holding a little throttle mid air?

I tend to run a little drag brake on my car mostly because I have small hands so reaching the break can be quite an effort, I like that my car tends to start slowing down a bit when I release the throttle as well. There aren't any huge jumps where I race so jumping isn't too much of an issue for me.

Yep 0% drag brake for exactly that reason.

I then use a brake curve on the transmitter to make the initial braking very gentle for when I do need to slow it down in the wet without the back end coming round.
