Thanks for the feedback. Yes, practice will take care of the problem. Although I also thought it would be fun to taxi onto the runway, apply the brake, go full-throttle and release the brake for a aircraft carrier type take-off. Although this may look quite pathetic with a trainer.
Not gonna happen. You'll just overpower the brake or flat-spot the tire as it gets drug down the runway.

I guess I'm really just looking for an exuse to "pimp my plane".
Wanna "Pimp" it? Add trim. Cheap and easy. Maybe fancy wing tips or pilot.
Just wondering - Do brakes work with a seperate channel on the transmitter (ie. similar to the flaps knob that turns)?
Some use a separate channel (the jets do this I believe) or tie it in with activating with down elevator (tri-cycle gear).
