Anti-lock brakes?
Hi, I am thinking about getting an HPI NRS4 3 SS (or a NTC3 if price allows)... Would a radio with the ABS feature really make a big difference in the braking speed of the car?
Thanks!
PS if somebody is selling a Nitro RS4 3 ss or NTC3 cheap, nib, used etc, let me know!

RE: Anti-lock brakes?
I know someone who upgraded from rs4-3 to the r40. He is local and I can ask if he is selling it.
As for ABS, it requires a high torque/speed for the ABS to function properly. If you have a digital servo, I suggest not activating the ABS as it can burn the servo's IC. I also found that the ABS is not really needed and braking is really depends on your driving style and car setup. If you have front one ways, you just play with throttle going into a turn and then holeshot out of it.
I use Mars R and futaba 9451 for throttle.
