Are Spikes needed with servos?

I was wondering if spikes are needed with servos? If so, I already need 2 spikes for the camera:ahh:

Thanks,
Anish

I believe servos go straight to the RC. They're connected like PWMs, aren't they?

So does this mean I don't need spikes for my servos?

Thanks,

Yes other motors need spikes or victors.

ok so if the have victors they don't need spikes. ok (ps. I'm not electronics guy I'm just making sure)

Servos go straight to the RC through PWM cables. You other motors should be on a spike or victor though.

For better referance you should go to the electrical part of the hand book in the robot section and look for the wiring diagram.
