Radioman..
Try this,
put a AC volt meter on one of the motor cables and see what it reads.. just for sh*ts and giggles...
lets say you're cruising down the streets @ 40MPH with the RC car.. and the motor is spinning while coming to a stop, that energy must go somewhere.. Because if you connect 2 brushless motors together and give one of them a spin, the other one will spin also.. I'm assuming that some RC ESCs do not allow that energy to be sent back to the ESC or battery or whatever.. but the energy just doesn't disappear. Maybe the proper term is not regenerative braking? Maybe regenerative slowing down.. LOL.. but give her a test..

Anyways, it's cool to be wrong.. I'm wrong all the time.. but once and a while I am correct... have a good one guys..
