In the old days when channels were limited it seemed like a viable option, not ideal but viable, I have seen many wheelbarrow landings that were a little squirrely due to this.

I have always used a spring loaded switch, the one mounted top back right, for me it works as I don’t have to take my thumbs off the sticks, I have a form of ABS braking as I can pulse the switch as many times as I need or full on, its not difficult to hold full on if for example you have a GS 200 controller.

There is a good benefit of this if you are using electric brakes, they are never accidently left on which can burn out your controller due to excessive amp draw.

Its one of those "It works for me", I’ve tried sliders and always go back to the spring switch, the Core radio comes with a single on off, first thing I did was change it to a spring on switch
