From this it is quite obvious that there is regenerative breaking, because some mAh are being reused and are thus being counted more than once.

Was my previous post not read? It seemed to have been skipped over. The ESC implementing low throttle when the motor is spinning fast is how motor breaks actually work. You may think that wherever position of the trigger correlates to throttle but that is not the case with car escs. This was the issue with the old MGM compros. The throttle input from the reciever was exactly correlated to the throttle outputed by the ESC causing the motor to "break" when going from high throttle to low throttle.
mah put back in the battery with the charger. Was my first post not read. lol


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
