Brake mode on any of the legal controllers only shorts the motor leads together. The motor must spin to generate the electricity that is fed back into the motor which opposes the motor's rotation. So if the motor is not rotating there will be no braking action.

The amount of the braking action is in direct proportion to the speed of the motor. The higher the speed of the motor they greater the braking action. The lower the motor rpm the lower the braking action.

So with a high enough reduction setting it to brake mode will slow down the "slide" but not prevent it.
