I just picked up a VFS-1 and noticed that there is no wire for running a 7.2volt servo (KO PDS-2123FET). Can I connect the power lead on the servo to the positive terminal on the speed controller to get it to work? Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you can but you need a choke thingy.

VFS-1 PROBLEM ..... SMOKE
Guys ... NEED YOUR HELP,
Just bought the VFS-1, has had one race meeting without any problems. It was awsome.
Last night connected it up to the battery with no probelm. When I went to unplug it smoke started coming out of the negative motor wire (at the esc). Did not even run the car !!
Now every time I swith the VFS-1 smoke comes off negative motor terminal . The strange thing is that the esc still works, also works properly in communication mode.
Ther does't appear to be any short between the esc terminals (checked for strands of wire etc).
Any ideas guys ? Can't work it out .... very frustrating
Thanks
