	Regenerative braking is the holy grail for hybrid E vehicles also. While the motor is an effective generator with the controls available, the issue is the ability of the batteries to accept the resulting high charge rate. Some systems have been designed using capacitors to smooth the flow, but large capacity requirements limits practicality. Of course with LiPo charge rates in the 1 - 3C range, this becomes even more problematic for our systems.

		Now if they could make the brake regenerative, they would have something!

				Hi Jason,
				I'm venturing, or maybe I should say, wading into electric this year. You mentioned the brake eating gears. I'm sure you meant the conventional brake that flat out stops the prop. What's your thought on the Hacker f3a brake that comes with the competition version of the speed control? We haven't seen or heard much of anything about this motor or the controller since the Worlds.
				 
				Thanks,
				Verne Koester
