The problem can also be solved by the most useful of all ICs, the
mighty little op-amp, which are available for less than $1 at Radio
Shack. Just send the servo signal through the op-amp with unity gain
or a little higher and that should allow the Victor to read it
properly. I created my own pass-through servo cable a couple years
ago to allow Chris Wacker to move some servos around in the T34,
thereby increasing the servo lead length and preventing his ESC from
reading the signal. A useful cable to have in any R/C toolbox.
You can also solve the problem with an opto-isolator IC (costs a
couple pennies more), but it requires more wiring and is best done on
the ESC board itself.

such cheap parts that would eliminate such common problems. Shame,
shame, shame.
