Crawler ESCs generally have a drag brake to hold your truck in place if you stop while on the rocks.

I bought a used ax10 and it has a LRP runner on it, no drag brake. So I was looking at esc on line last night and the Novak Goat 2s was looking like the one I should get. I can use it with my brushed motor and If I ever decide to go brushless it will run that too. Has anyone had any problems with this esc? Or do you recommend something else?
