It's more expensive than your standard pot, but much less nosiy, much smaller, and comes with a pre-terminated cable.
But if VEX makes it, then it could be designed to work with the ThunderHex shaft without having to drill it out.

Also, it seems that you still would need to crimp or sauter the other end of that connection wire. I'm hoping to just have a potentiometer that has a cable with a pwm end with the other end connected internally. It's a LOT easier to wire.
