I should note that you can also control coasting/breaking ability with the Speed Controller. If you set the Speed Controller to the break setting, it will break you no matter if the pins are in or out of the gear box. If you set the Speed Controller to coast, it will coast if there are no pins in the gear box. If there are pins in the gear box, it will break.

As a word of advice, I'd say remove the pins and use the Speed Controllers if you want to break. The pins are just an extra item to break in the gear box when put under stress.

How do you set a Speed Controller to break or coast?
