Sorry, didn't clarify the mini-controller, it is one of the smaller versions of the IFI RCs that was released a while back. Link is here: http://www.ifirobotics.com/edu-rc.shtml

Since I obviously have lost my writing skills today, I drew a diagram per your suggestion.



Soo.. my question is, do I need to put one of the aforementioned signal boosters in place of my badly drawn PWM wires (which look strangely like the German flag). I only worry because I am actually hooking the Victor to the RC, but then I am going to the Hitec, and I don't know if the signal will be reduced in that step.
