Will victor's break mode destroy gear box?

Sorry, I can't untangle that sentence.

A spinning motor with its leads shorted generates braking torque proportional to its speed. In fact, the braking torque follows the motor's speed-torque curve... with the stall torque and zero swapped, of course: at zero speed there is zero braking torque, and at rated free speed the braking torque is the same as the rated stall torque.
