      I wish I could have thought of a better name for this thread, nevermind.

      Any way, the meat and potatoes of it is, if I short the terminals of an unpowered, coasting motor (while its in a car), will it lock the wheels up/slow the car faster.

      I just experimented with my rotory tool (kekeke) and a spare motor I had lying about, and it does seem to strain more if the terminals are shorted, and it “spins down” a little faster

      If it wasn t 4:30 in the morning, I d pull apart my 57 chev tinracer and experiment, ah well, I ll post my findings later…
