I noticed that I have no braking power with the PN DSM2 Board. Even if I put the brakes to the maximum of 85 % in ICS manager, the braking power is nearly Zero. The transmitter is also set to 100%.
Is there a way with which I can get more braking power, or does it only work with the ASF board ?

This is strange..what radio do u use? . Does the reverse work without and issues? Is it the v1 or v2 board? Normally I run my break power in the ics @ 60% and 100%hp on the radio then set my break d/r to 75-80 I am using the v2 board with dx4s
I also use the Dx4s. When I put the braking power in the ICS from 0% to 85%, I notice a very small difference. I would appreciate the braking performance on 5%. The reverse gear is absolutely no problem. (backing Time 1). How can I see if I have V1 or V2?

The v1 has the very small solder pads for the main Power and the v2 has the bigger pads....
It's definitely a V2 board. Today I have also tested an atomic 48t engine next to the PN50. As before, no brake. And that in all three boards. You wrote that your radio has 100% HP. What means HP?

Ah okay, I tested nearly the whole Range.
Could you descripe how Strong your breakpower is?
Unfortunately I can not test on RCP at the moment. If I turn the car, so no load on the engine and then brake, the wheels would stop immediately, right?

The 'brake power' is a function of the motor's magnets and armature turns to a large extent, however it is interesting that you are noticing a difference from one board to the next.
When an RC car (ie mini-z, xmods, et al) put on the 'brakes', the FET's are essentially shorting the motor wires together through either the VCC or ground power rails. This puts the motor into a loaded generator mode that creates a torque load on the drive train, slowing the car down.
If you are noticing a decrease in brake power with this new board, it is quite possible that it is modulating the short to the motor wires, and instead of a short at 100% duty cycle, it is shorting at a decreased duty cycle which will net a decrease in the torque load the motor is imposing on the drive train.
If this is the case, and there is no way to increase the duty cycle of the brake mode PWM, then you will need to use a motor with stronger magnets and/or motor turns to get the braking power you need.
