 __brakeMax__ (m/s): maximum braking slip applied to the wheels when brakeInput is 1.0.
+
+_motorMax_ is the maximum amount of slip (in m/s) that will be transferred to the drive wheels. The slip causes the the force at the tire according to the friction parameters. At the [Live Demo][1], the Telemetry shows how much traction slip is being applied (key B, label FS). You can also see graphically how the slip is generating the force at tire (B, then shift-B). Enabling TC (traction control) at [CarSettings](wiki:CarSettings) (key 2 at the [Live Demo][1]) limits the slip to the peak value of the friction curve (first of the values after the label Friction at the Telemetry), so the tire generates the maximum force when accelerating.
+
+_brakeMax_ works in the same way but the value is applied when braking. Enabling ABS at [CarSettings](wiki:CarSettings) (key 1 at the [Live Demo][1]) limits the slip to the peak value of the friction curve, so the tire generates the maximum force when braking.
