  Models of rapidly rotating massive stars at low metallicities show
significantly different evolution and higher metal yields compared to
non-rotating stars. We estimate the spin-down time-scale of rapid rotating
non-convective stars supporting an alpha-Omega dynamo. The magnetic dynamo
gives rise to mass loss in a magnetically controlled stellar wind and hence
stellar spin down owing to loss of angular momentum. The dynamo is maintained
by strong horizontal rotation-driven turbulence which dominates over the Parker
instability. We calculate the spin-down time-scale and find that it could be
relatively short, a small fraction of the main-sequence lifetime. The spin-down
time-scale decreases dramatically for higher surface rotations suggesting that
rapid rotators may only exhibit such high surface velocities for a short time,
only a small fraction of their main-sequence lifetime.
