Can someone explain how 'drag' and 'regular' braking work?
What's the difference between the 2?
And what about protection against pulling into reverse while trying to brake on a downslope?
Is there a feature for this?
The Tekin sounds good, but being so small, can it handle the size/weight of these trucks?
My trailers with loads on them are pretty heavy - in the 20 to 25 pound range on ball bearing axles.
What kind of heat buildup on stiff grades?

All of castles esc can be programed from the radio as well it is just easier with the computer. Drag brake is when you move the throttle to neutral it will brake automatically till it comes to a stop and the other is breaking by going to revers it will break and then a short pause before it will go into reverse. physical size of the ESC means nothing it is what it is rated at and if you are using a higher turn motor such as a 55 or 45 most any esc will do it is just the features they offer. I will post some pics in a minute to show you that in the RC world size doesn't matter.
