I'm guessing that the 50Hz number (20ms period) was given because it corresponds to the 20ms TeleOp period? The Talon may be capable of processing pulses coming in faster than that. But there's the driver issue. As I understand it, if you send commands at 10ms (100Hz) to the Victor driver, for example, you still get a 17ms period coming out of the driver.

This was a typo in the User Manual. The actual refresh rate is 333Hz or (3 ms). The input capture is driven by an interrupt so as long as there is some space between the edges of the input pulse, the output will update correctly.
If your pulse spacing is 3 ms or greater you should have no problem.
