Yah, that's the thing, I don't think it would ever WANT to regenerate the batt, unless it's A123 M1 cells, which can take a $HIT load of charge in bursts (they can 5 min charge).

About the acceleration.....try 1500 watts with these XL motors. I have a 7XL, everytime I full throttle blip, it's around 1500 watts, acceleration is super car territory.

For braking, no one knows how much power is being dissipated. But the amount of power you can get from braking is more than you could ever use.
