Re: Can Victors work as ESCs without all of the other electronic components?

RobotLogic sells something called the IMX-1, which acts as a PWM signal booster, which runs inline with a PWM cable to operate Victors with standard RC equipment. It also mixes signals for one-stick driving, and uses a spare RC channel for inverted controls, which is useful in combat robotics if you get flipped over (assuming your robot can drive inverted), or to make backwards driving easier.
