i'm not sure if this will work, i could be talking complete rubbish but try changing the 2 outside wires on the motor then reversing the throttle channel on your handset and see if it gives you the drag brake in forward then

I'd go a long with that as I'm guessing it's a sensorless combo so at the moment it could be reverse ur running as forward an forward as reverse hence drag brake working correctly but just in the wrong direction if that makes any sensne lol as long as it's sensorless the swapping any two wires around on the motor (A-A, B-C an C-B) should sort it

Theres a port on the motor and the ESC itself, was thinking I should buy a sesnsor cable and give thata go. But I'll try swapping the two outer conections as you recomend....thanks!
