Is your reverse actually running the motor backwards?

If it is, can't you just run the reverse circuit off less voltage (only using part of the pack) to slow it down? I shouldn't think that using part of the pack for only a second will actually affect the pack's differential discharge any more than just using it would...

If you're still spinning the motor forward, again, is there a way that you can put Reverse gear with a switch/sensor that when the reverse lights are on, it cuts the voltage/current in the controller so that it can't spin up as fast?

Then again, can't you just use less throttle?

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
