Re: Using Kevin's PWM outputs for a quieter drive system.

That's usefull information, since with servos, the actual output drive IS directly related to the RC's PWM frequency (many servos use the PWM leading edge to initiate the drive signal)

So that begs the question....: What is the PWM Output frequency of a Victor? and: Why does my transmission sound so cruncy at low power.

The noise starts well before the GBox's output shaft starts moving, so I assume it's an oscillation detectable at the motot's output shaft.
