[NSRCA-discussion] Braking question

[Jas]

Only thing is the OS/Futaba esc's don't like 28-pole motors. Not sure why.

This works fairly well when the speed controller is driving the motor. When it’s the other way around however – not so much. I bet if someone came out with a motor that had position sensors and a really expensive speed controller to drive it, more people would get  interested in Pattern again… LOL
