Hi Neil, It works very well as an ESC because it is one. :-) The Out of range safety is the radio reciever that returns the servos to cebter on loss of signal. I have it working quite happily with the M01 motors BUT you have to have a curcuit to replace the electric brakes on the wheelchair motors or the controller sees an error condition. My work around for this was to add a 24v fan to the electric brake wiring. As the controller supplies 24v to release the brake and allow the motors to spin, the fans run when the motors are turning. The next "upgrade" to this system will involve disassembly of the joystick to have the servos control the POTS directly.
