My other half has RC cars, he says it could be a couple of things. Tick over set too low, air filter blocked, engine low compression also there's a possibility of an upgrade of nitro mix.
Change the glow plug regularly even if it does work as it could be underperforming.

Hope this helps.

I have`nt got a clue what a Ansmann thingy is,but the main cause of a engine cutting out when braking is a air leak or a brake servo problem,(dragging in too much air into the manifold),could be the inline valve,or as Becky r stated,idle set too low could cause the problem.
