Thanks for posting that Pdelcast (Patrick?), a good explanation for the not so tech savy.

Byte, yes the FET's do not continuously short the motor windings out, it uses the same principle as working normally as a motor, it's called PWM (pulse width modulation) and basically the more braking you input on your Tx, the wider the 'pulses', and hence more braking action. PWM is usually at a set frequency, but not always, and if it is variable, will change according to motor speed. Some controllers vary PWM in normal forward/throttle operation, usually to increase efficiency at lower rpm's, as the higher frequency PWM you go, the more heat is created because of eddy currents.
