Re: Power of Victor Brake
OK, yes... The break does still work when the RC is disabled... AND if there is enough friction in your drivetrain (probably with 6 or 8 wheel designs) the victor brake will be enough to slow your motion off of the ramp down, but it will be the friction that stops you. Basically, If you have to exert a "good amount" of force to push your robot on the groud while it is not powered up, then you have a chance at staying on the ramp with the Victor brake.
