1/8th scale electric conversions

Looks like fun, is it posible to keep the mechanical brakes besides using the ESC brakes for these?

Yes, you just keep the brake servo in place and use channel mixing. On the ESC I assume you disable the braking program. Not many reasons to use a mechanical brake, though I know a few people who have it setup that way. Most of the time its because people kept a 2spd transmission in the car, and need someway to slow it down.

I've even seen setups that use a traditional nitro clutch so soften the low end punch of the electric motor and make it more tractable.
