    No brakes!!

    Hey how can I make the braking stronger? Even if I trim it down there is still no stopping power!

    Tried a few things but am pretty stumped. Please give some options

    A couple of suggestions

    Is the brake trim on the transmitter on maximum?

    In the instructions for the speed controller is there a function for adjusting the brake level?
