The HPI Vapor esc is actually a rebranded Castle Creations Sidewinder SCT esc. The Sidewinder does have a mode where when you hit the brakes it will brake and then you have to go to neutral on the trigger and back to brake/reverse in order to go in reverse. Unfortunately HPI dictates the firmware in the esc's Castle makes for them and I'm not sure if the HPI version supports transmitter programming like the Castle Sidewinder SCT does. The HPI version does support using the Castle Link tomconnect to your computer for programming where you will be able to change the mode as well as other settings like punch, braking force, reverse speed, throttle curves, etc.
