Re: Can Victors work as ESCs without all of the other electronic components?
If you choose to use a supplementry circuit to generate the PWM signal, be sure to familiarize your self with the calibration routine. It is likely that a custom circuit will not output values that match those the Victor expects from the IFI equipment. Calibration will force the victor to scale the values, allowing you to set neutral, reverse and forward to values the circuit can produce.

This also goes for anyone using a Victor with hobby R/C gear. The factory calibration makes the assumption of using a PC joystick and an IFI control system. With out those, the factory calibration isn't even close.
