Brakes not effective

[Dudders]

Hi all,

I have a speed passion ESC with a control box for set up. Just found the time and courage to have a fiddle as I wanted more brakes on neutral.

However, I think I've set up everything to maximum and still the car rolls. Surely in neutral (or a little reverse stick even) it should stop the drive wheels in an instant.

What am I doing wrong?

All words of wisdow and other greatly welcomed as it reet doing my nut in!

Make sure it was the drag brake you adjusted, not just brakes.

Drag Brake (2) set to 8 = 50%
Max Brake Force (5) set to = 4 = 100%
Initial Brake Force (7) set to = 4 = 40%

Cant see what's wrong.

Couldnt be T/X issue could it?

1) Set the transmitter EPA's to 100%.
2) Set all brake curves to linear
3) Re-calibrate handset with ESC.

Then retry...it could be that the ESC doesn't know where neutral is properly, so is not applying drag brake effectively.

Hope this helps.

Will try 1 and 3 in a bit after putting the kids to bed. How do you do number 2 though?. Cant see a setting for this?

Initial Brake Force (7) set to = 2 = 0%
