Re: Homemade parts

Hobby ESC's can be used for RC car and truck motors. The PWM is the same. Spike relays can also be used off of the PWM outputs. To build your own H bridge controller is complicated. You can fry the vex very easily when interfacing to high voltage electronics. That said, there are allot of resources on the International Rectifier website under automotive applications. One interesting class of devices are fully protected low and high side switches. I used an 8 output one to control 2 servo motors.
