Rather than neither I'm inclined so say 'both' ... but really I'm just getting confused.

I'll look at it more later. Thanks for the link.
Yeah, I'm talking with an EE who has a better understanding than and he is saying that the Jags also have the capability of being operated in a Voltage or Current mode over CAN.

I have a few other links regarding ESC design and construction if you are interested. It has been a couple years since I read them and I admit they move way beyond my understanding pretty quickly.
