How many folks have been able to get the brakes set such that they can get at or close to lockup??
Reason I ask, is that on both my trailers, I can get the electric brakes to slow the combo down, but certainly well shy of lockup. That's after adjusting the brakes to the point just shy of dragging, upgrading the wiring to #12 etc. with a prodigy controller.
They will lock on gravel, but not on dry pavement. And if activated at a stop, it takes quite a bit of throttle to get moving, can tell they are definitely engaged.
Yes, at around 5.7V to 5.8V on the prodigy, I can get mine to lockup on the funfinder on dry pavement.
Dexter does state though that not combinations of brakes on all trailers can be set to a high enough level to attain lockup, and they consider this "normal".
