A drag braking system for a model vehicle comprising:

• a transmitter comprising a throttle input;
• a receiver located in the model vehicle and communicatively couple to the transmitter;
• a motor control device comprising:
• a user activated operation set selector;
• a memory storing three braking profiles;
• wherein a selected braking profile of the three braking profiles is selected via operation of the operation set selector;
• and
• wherein an amount of braking force is applied by a motor of the model vehicle according to the selected braking profile when the throttle input is in a neutral position.

A method for applying a drag braking force for a model vehicle, comprising:

• activating a user activated operation set selector;
• selecting a program setup mode or a profile selection mode via the operation set selector;
• setting a neutral position for a throttle input when the program setup mode is selected;
• selecting a braking profile when the profile selection mode is selected;
• wherein the braking profile applies a braking force via a model vehicle motor when the throttle input is in the neutral position.
