I have just received a Hacker Master 40 3p Esc. What actually is the brake function for?????

How do you guys run it Brake on or Brake off????

It is used on airplanes, to stop the propeller when the throttle is off. A stopped propeller has less drag than one that is spinning, so the plane will glide better. It should be disabled for helis.

I was thinking along those lines but just didn't see why a Heli speed controller would have such a monster.

Thanks Jeff

Now as soon as my packs are charged up I'll be heading out to the field to give my new ESC and Motor a smoke test.

Thanks again
Brad
