The Graupner actually has a dynamic break from the limited few weeks I flew it last year. Once the brake is engaged it appeared that the lower one lowered the low end the higher the break percentage would be. I only flew the esc after the NATs last year for a few weeks and at first I did not realise it was changing the break the lower I lowered the low end. This might be good or bad feature but I'm sure someone would be able to make good use of it. I had no issues with temperatures and it seemed like the Pyro 600 motor for the contra ran much better. I think it will work well with the Pletty or any other current motor out there.
