Well my brain is smaller than Jeffs, but my datalogs do show current during braking. And since this the logger is in series, than that tells me that there is current flowing back during hard braking. The thing is though that I also add capacitors to my ESC's to cool the sucker down and "smooth" out my hard brakes. I don't have any saved datalogs with the before and after results with the caps installed. So I can't say/tell if the back current is higher or not when I use my brakes with the caps installed.

Jeff I guess we will need to meet up and use my 50hz logger to see the brakes graphs during wimpy and manly stops.
