IIRC in the brushed days, the two motor poles were shorted somehow and that created a braking force. Not sure about brushless systems. Never really cared for the details, tbh.
Yup, you got it. And thanks for the info.
I club race and I drive a very HEAVY SCT on some nights, my brakes are garbage when I try to get it slowed down at the end of the straight, I had always assumed it was my motor not having the strength. Now I'm thinking its the ESC.
Either way, I need to put the SCT on a diet.
