in racing, you dont come to a complete stop, you want to slow down for a turn!Įlectrical brakes actually charge the battery! They can be so strong as to make the car flip. but in most applications, this will not impede performance at all. but with cheap motors, they will probably not be able to stay completely stopped.

the only problem was that it would place much stress on the ESC, motor, and battery. this would cause an even stronger braking force, and did work very well. they applied a very slight opposite voltage to the motor to brake. Years ago, some ESC's had another method for braking. If the motors magnets are weak, such as with the stock 12t motor, it will not brake well, or "hold" very strongly. This means that the motor is the only thing that can slow it down. THUS, electric brakes are only as strong as the magnets in the motor. This causes a magnetic opposition in the armature, which slows it down. if you push back again (a second time), it should go into reverse unless you have selected a different throttle profile.Īn electric ESC brakes by shorting out the terminals on the motor. When you let off the throttle, push back on the trigger, and it should brake. The XL-5 in your rustler does have brakes.
