btw, we don't want you off the forums, we just want you to not take it personally when you are wrong and know that we all make mistakes. i used to argue that my 8-cell ni-mh batteries could put out more power than 2s lipo. now i know better.
Im almost certain that brushed esc's use regenerative braking as well. Not sure how the old mechanical speed controls had brakes, but i remember they did....or at least the ones i had had brakes


Built Ford tough, with Chevy stuff.
