matt the brakes on the power base are reverse polarity and dont function like dynamic brakes while they do work some tmes the car can attempt to go backwards after a de slot whlie the cap discharges but as you say it is an easy way to get brakes

QUOTE put a little 12v volume knob in the wire to control your braking for different cars, maybe!

50 OHM 3watt ceramics are good for this you can also put one in paralell to your main resistor and vary the ohmage .There you have the way a controler box works as used by most racers over here ,If any one needs a diagram theres one on my web
