It's not clear what you are asking. What are you proposing to directly wire the potentiometers to?
In principle you could wire a pot directly to a DC brushed motor (like a CIM), but in practice it would have to be a
very heavy duty pot, and it would waste a lot of battery power (and get hot).
Wiring a pot directly to a Talon or Jag or Vic would not work. These devices require a PWM input signal, not a DC voltage..
