Rolling a GS450H car in neutral

Post by TheSilverBuick »

I'm re-watching Damien's and Greg's video's and thought to myself, can you spin the GS450H (roll the vehicle) with the batteries disconnected without damaging the stock inverter(s)? I'm guessing there isn't a true neutral in the GS450H either?

From my understanding, spinning a motor connected to an unpowered inverter can damage the inverter, yes? Or is it more on a case by case, setup by setup basis?
Need to learn. Starting from the basics.
