Some brands of ESC's  have working brakes and some do not . 
Does anyone have any experience with these? 
I plan on buillding a 4500KV flexi .

your brakes come from your controller - a 4500kv sounds pretty safe.

I've used SBM, DoSlot and NSR ecomms with various motors.  They all had brakes, no problems.

Speaking of brakes. 

I am from a Radio Control background, where you have the ability to change some settings of the ESC.

Can the Brakes, timing and Frequency be changed and how ?

Thanks in advance for any replies,

I think that depends on the esc. I'm an RC guy that have been using brushless for years. I just got a new BL32 esc for a glider that one can change just about everything via a link board that connects to the esc. Just started playing with a brushless slot setup.

My limited experience with brushless has been with 3000, 4500, and 6500 kvm motors.  I have driven these with the Mid America and DoSlot boards.  What I have found is there is a small window of having too much, too little, and just the right amount of brake.

the right controller helps,,, using a 3rd eye eclipse, touched by Felix

Does changing the timing change the RPM like a typical brushed motor?

"Does changing the timing change the RPM like a typical brushed motor?

 

from what I read and heard, it changes the response of the motor, higher timing - softer response
