"we're arguing semantics now. The bottom line is that power goes back to the batteries, which you assumed didn't happen."

and I DONT off this esc and full 100% breake force as i said.

and as
brianG has said

"I have to add that some ESCs, such as the MMM, do have a TVS device which limits the amount of peak voltage generated during hard braking. IIRC, it's rated somewhere between 26 and 28v, which means that any voltage peaks above its rating are essentially shunted to ground. This means that you might not truly measure the full voltage peak potential."

and on testing THIS esc and motor from Full throttle to Full 100% breake forced by a 12v window motor here on the bench and on a scpoe there is 0 peaks 0 voltage spikes back from the esc to the batteries i even tryed at one time a 20a diode inline the hot of the esc so power will ONLY flow ONE Way and still got 0 on Breakeing testing eather side of the diode i did get all kinds of voltage drops on breakeing with or without the diode.
im not saying thay are wrong im just saying in the case of THIS esc it Don't.
i will test the vxl3s tomarrow and see what i find on that one.
I in no way have said thay are full of crap or that thay dont know what thay are talking about.
just think it just might not apply to ALL esc's or configurations and cause one manufacture has one or some that do one thing does not mean its in stone that ALL other manufactures build or design theres the same way ......
alot of things just might apply to this
Eg
input voltage
cell count
motor kv
esc design
and alot more Im just saying i dont see it here on My bench all i can go by is wht i see happen when i force the motor to spin at 500 rpm under 100% force all that happens is o return voltage and a Hot esc..... oh and a Very HOT window motor that is driving the brushless motor that is trying to stop turning.
the ONLY spike or Peak voltage i have found is the voltage that is there in between throttle and breake the "deadzone" and that is only the battery recovering from the voltage sag from throttle and when you hit the breake it sags again as voltage is applyed to the motor for breaking ..... and in that SHORT short period in between the two "throttle and breake" might LOOK like a return voltage but is not its just that 2ns of time the esc has no load on the battery.


as i Have said before
Im not saying nobody is Wrong or full of crap
but i AM saying that i cant produce the facts that i am wrong and have tryed for over 15 hours of on and off testing of this
and 5 sets of lipos in need of charging badly LOL
