If your just holding on the brakes and pushing the car, you won't have brakes like an lc car you need to drive the car then hit the brakes

As Mark says the braking on electric cars rely on the motor to get the effects of braking ( Technical term is back EMF ) The quick way to check for motor braking is lift the drive wheels off the ground, Push the throttle forward ( Not too far ) to spin the wheels and then pull the throttle right back. You should notice the drive wheels promptly stop.

It is possible that they are a bit too harsh and you can set pseudo ABS on some transmitters.

Or alternatively depending on your speedo you can set amount of braking force applied. ( Bit of trial and test setting this feature up )
