If needed you can run the 393 motors off of a Victor/Jaguar/Talon. We ran two off of a talon all year without problems. We did't give them full power in programing; we ran them up to around 10v.
We tried a 393 on the servo port, same issue. Checked voltages at the sidecar and the vex controller. All were as expected. Seems to be an electrical current issue.

We were just about to try a jag with one to see if it works.
