I actually don't use much brakes with my revo. On the last layout with the bank at the end of the strait I didn't use brakes at the end, even at full speed...I just turned and the banking action made my truck slow and I made the turn fine. Out of habit I used them at first at the end of the strait but once I tried it without them it was way better.
Also I like to roll through corners for the most part, not brake into them. Believe it or not turning acts like brakes, that's why I keep my momentum and "roll" the corners if I can.
brakes are WAY overrated IMO
