I have an old KO Propo PDS-2123FET servo and was wondering if this is compatable with today's brushless esc's and lipo's?

Yes, it is. A good servo can last a LONG time if not abused.

While sorting out a few boxes of random parts I noticed I have a few nice, powerful, and very fast KO Propo FET servos that run on 7.2V. In the old times you'd need a ESC with additional wire for powering those (I have a few), but can these also be...

Hey All,

I had this Novak T-1X in my parts and I didn't test it until now. It immediately heated up, on my test rig, along with my test battery. Clearly a short.

I have a maker knowledge of FETS. Initially, I wasn't going to bother with this, but...

Got this beauty in the mail recently. I think this is the last ESC made by the original Tekin. Can someone confirm? Also, what is the extra red wire for?

Extra red wire is to power a fet boosted servo
