motor brakes (even w/ a center diff) are alot stronger than mechanical brakes in most cases. i can lift the rear of my truck, if i slam hard on the brakes. but hard braking is also very hard on the controller, which is why some use mechanical brakes (keeps controller temps down). the other reason to use mechanical brakes, is if you're using a high voltage setup w/ an air/boat controller.
