I agree with you Brian, that is the most it can do when shorted.

I think a better experiment would be to bring up to speed the wheels of a MT, and have motor connected with no ESC (motor is on motor mount). And then short them out and see how fast it slows it down. Keep in mind, it doesn't take much resistance further up in the drive train to slow things down wind (wheels).

The drill experiment shows lots of resistance, but that is a drill, and a drill only puts out more torque the slower it spins.... so it doesn't show us how fast it would slow it down. I'm thinking a flywheel experiment?

Artur, is there a diagram that you have, or COULD make that would show us exactly what is going on during braking in the FET; AND/OR when the voltage is high enough to charge batts?
