Presuming he uses sticks - I have a theory that drag brake is more useful to a pistol transmitter user than a sticks user. I prefer the pistol, as the wheel gives me better steering control and better comfort, but braking (pushing with the trigger finger) is harder and slower, as it's a deeply unintuitive thing to do, so having the drag brake kick in before applying full brakes helps.

Lol, just re-read both of our posts and we were saying pretty much the same thing

10% works ok for me in 2wd, anymore and the rear end becomes unstable

Maybe I didn't contradict myself after all

Thats a style all of its own. You will work out what you like, try different settings till you find one that you like, then thats your style LOL...
