Re: Will victor's break mode destroy gear box?
No. You will not destory the gearboxes.
The brake mode on the Victors shorts the motor wires to ground. Because the wires are connected together, the power generated by moving the motor drives the motor in the other direction, resulting in a braking effect. This is not a very strong force.
