Re: Mini Cim torque in brake mode?

Correct.

When the motor leads are shorted, the back EMF created by the spinning rotor causes current to flow through the motor.

And since current in a DC brushed motor is (roughly) proportional to torque, the faster the shaft is being spun, the higher the braking torque created by the motor.
