jeff,
i tryed to look at these voltages yesterday but the eagle tree V3 wont log quick enough to really log the voltage spikes from breaking.
all of that aside, therefor the super low gearing, low KV and super high voltage guys, if they are running low quality packs then they should use mechanical breaks and disable the MMM's correct?
therefore there is no regenerative voltage.
i think this thread has taken it too far, too many seemingly big brains here and not enough balls to go test it ourselves!!
from what ive seen, my revo only demands 70A from my cheap turnigy when i give it the beans, but i rarely do that cause it's scary

it's all about the breaks isnt it, too many voltage spikes and pop goes the TVS.
