My understanding of drag brake is that it mimics the effect of the old brushed motors that when you let go of the throttle the commutator would rub on the brushes in the head causing drag and slowing the spinning of the rotor whereas the brushless motors don't have this friction therefore in theory they coast better a bit like using engine braking and pushing the clutch right in on a normal car. That's my understanding of it anyway.
