It seems to me that using a ESC that is spec'd to more voltage than your batteries should fix the "voltage rise" problem. The other issue is the high braking currents. The data suggests that a battery with higher internal resistance will produce less amps and be easier on the ESC. This goes against what else I've learned which is that you should always aim for the lowest battery resistance possible. What am I missing? To me, the safest solution seems to be an over-spec's ESC and high resistance batteries.
