Rc4wd dig or dual esc?

[Iceman29488]

Hey guys I need some help. I have a exceed Maidstone 8 and have did the following mods. Changed out the transmitter and receiver to a futaba 4pls, changed the esc to a 80 amp hobbywing quicrun, changed motors to axial 55t, and put a rc4wd dig 2 unit on it. He issue im having is with the drag brake and dig. When i run the front tires up the wall and release the trigger the truck will roll back slowly. I have 100% drag brake set in esc. Also when i activate the dig the tires dont lock up totally. I would like to get more drag brake and dig if possible. If i removed the dig unit and went dual esc would that give me what im looking for? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dual esc 100%

Dual esc wont fix the drag not being strong enough I think, if you can gear down and get faster motors that would be my bet. I run moa on bully axles and I was able to use a 9t spur, with 35t motors I am pretty happy with its 64:1 reduction, no idea what the maxstone has for reduction though(just looked it up, well based off the gears and a 15t pinion you get 38.5:1(guessing on the stock pinion being 15), with a 9t pinion you get 64:1, so if it fits and to motor slides far enough in ,
so...
1) get the 9t pinion
2) faster motors
3) and dual esc's
4) kick butt

Not sure what the spur is but the pinion is a 12 tooth I have 2 10 tooth coming also I have to 27 turn motors that I had in it before but it didn't have the torque to turn the wheels

I assume you set the drag beake to 100% in the esc, also make sure its activating on both axles, it will not activate if the throttle is not in the dead band, which shouldn't be a problem because I don't think the esc will finish activating if the throttle is not in the dead band. Mostly I would say wait to install those pinions before changing anything else.

I think stronger magnets will give you better drag brake, I have never had a drag brake not hold so I haven't looked into which motors have the best drag brake, but I am pretty sure the super pricey HH magnums have a good drag brake.

I know there are posts you can search for here that have discussed what motors to get for a better drag brake.
