Drag Brake added: 14.07.2014

I found that when I first started VRC , I never used drag brake. Today I was racing Rhein Main with Pro replay. I noticed the way they turned into corners and are deffinately running 4% at a minimum Drag Brake. This is what I'm running in buggy for most tracks. With electric onraod I have been running maybe upto 7% for stock and as much as 11% for SC Mod in Off-road. Try it out, hugs the corner, more consistent at actually hitting apex. Turn in easier, line holding around long corners is easier too!

Luke A.	19.07.2014 [16:48] Tried Rear Drag Brake, works well. Running my buggy now with rear drag only. Has helped reduce my times a little bit. Doing some more testing to see if I end up running this way from now on. Jumps more consistent, turn in better.
Javan C	14.07.2014 [23:15] Ive been running drag brake on and off since I started VRC.....that was a while ago lol. Time flies. Anyway ive had some good successes for the buggy with much higher values than yourself but running rear brake only, nice and stable but loses some rotation. works for me though :D
