Regen "assist" braking, good or bad?

[macrain13]

I'm looking to adjust some of the settings on my programmable alltrax controller and wondered if the braking assist is good or bad for parts around the cart. It's a 99 ezgo DCS with stock motor and alltrax 300dcx controller. It's got a 6" lift with 20" tires. I use my cart mostly for getting around my hunting club, nothing extreme. A few short runs on hills and lightly rough terrain.

Will the braking assist hurt or help the motor or controller?? Since the controller is programmable, I can turn down the assist. I like it for helping control speed downhill, but not at the cost of a new controller or motor..

Thanks
