I have one on my bench for my lathe and brush cutter and another one cast away into a tin of working stuff that I don’t like. I’ll go out in a minute and figure out what the situation is but I think it has brake. 
 

 

Righto, checked it out.

It does indeed have some weird delayed reverse/no brake thing going on. That’ll be why I got annoyed with them and threw the in the tin. I replaced mine with wp1060 and what a lot more response I got.

The autosport would likely be a nice tame esc for a old model to look after the gearbox a bit. Just wasn’t lively enough for me. 
 

Could be a drag brake till stop then reverse kicks in or some kind of programmed witchcraft

I tested mine in the same fashion, just on the bench with a silver can and it seemed to stop the can, wait and ramp up into reverse without me doing a double tap on reverse.

I also checked it out on an RZ motor and had the same behaviour. I think there’s a brake of some sort happening but not the style we’re used to. 
 

I wouldn’t think that it would ruin the gearbox as I ran mine like a 2 year old would(brutal trigger happy) in my Blackfoot 3, Wild One and a TT02 with a Paradox 27t stock motor and they are all fine. I can find 5mins on Saturday to meet and lend ya one of mine to see if it’s different from yours if that’s any help? 
 

My feeling is it would probably be fine on the gearbox but not sure what model it’s for.

Have you tried contacting Mtroniks? I used their esc’s a lot in boats and they were excellent. Even work under water!!! If I’ve ever had a problem they always sorted it out. Now that was a few years ago but it’s worth a try?

I contacted Mtroniks and they asked me to send it in which I did. Today, I received it back with a note saying it is all fine when they tested it. However I know it is not as I tested it side by side with ad456's side by side in the same exact conditions and that one does brake before going into reverse. Guess no more Mtroniks for me now. 

That’s a shame 🙁
