do F1 brakes replace reverse?

does having an pcb with brakes remove the reverse ability? what on the control triggers the brakes and can standard controllers handle a Z w/brakes?

When you press reverse first time, it's brake. Letting it go and pressing it again is reverse.

I didn't think it was useful at first but soon found out how useful it was when I kept accidentally going reverse in my Racer when I had to avoid from hitting something head on (by hitting something behind)

Btw, the Racers don't have brakes, only the F1s. If you don't know that already.

Yep, push trigger forward once & you brake, twice for reverse. Just to add, you can put the F1 PCB in a tintop to get a brake & reverse tintop. And, yes the standard controller does both reversing & braking.

Do they sell the PCBs alone or do I have to salvage from somewhere.. anyways if the price is too steep then it's probably not worth it to do so, just installing front & rear bumpers would be fine for me and hope not to need brakes

EDIT:

200th post! I should celebrate.

Yes they do sell PCB on their own. I'm not sure if Drac has any but I'm pretty sure he used to. It is a bit expensive just to have brakes, but it depends on funds availability and how badly you want brakes.

Congrats on 200th post.
