Re: Victor qeustion

As a side

It was mentioned previously that the current generated in the victors from the motors being backdriven would also 'leak' through the pwm wires and back to the controler.

I was under the impression that the Victors (and Spikes) had an optical isolation between the controller and its power circutry, such that there is no posiblty of a victor melting down and somehow sending 12v+ back through the pwm wire and toasting the RC by some freak accident.

Or perhaps I'm thinking of some other RC system?
