Re: Victor Burnouts

I'm with Al here on the backdriving. I've seen some LED's light up, and the fans twitch, but there can't be anywhere near enough current flowing to mess up the fets.

Or is there?

Could it be that with dynamic braking on, the current on some victors just ends up as heat as opposed to getting sent onto the rest of the harness?

I'm just wondering that maybe if dynamic braking is not on, all that backdriven current gets disapatied through all the victors, RC, etc., causing little if any problems. If braking is on, that current would 'stay' in the victor, right? Or am I just missing something key about how braking works on a victor?

Just grasping at some more straws.
