We ran the 393s off TalonSRs in previous years, you can probably just use a small speed controller like an RC one if you want to. We actually overvolted the motors to about 10 or 11 volts without issues but we were only having them turn about 100 degrees.

Thanks for the feedback,
That is interesting to run 10-11 volts... but this will be turning up to 10 revolutions. We tested using a voltage regulator that shows how much current is being drawn (as well as set it for ~=7.2 volts)... using the higher voltage gives more torque, so it may be worth it to use... it really depends on the load requirements of the manipulator. If we can get by with 6 volts for lighter loads (checking the current as well) then a direct connection may be fine (will need to research that a bit more though).
