Hello all,

I have been waiting a long time for some motors on backorder from Robotshop and was wondering if I could use an alternative. I have seen some with encoders from another source that are otherwise identical. Now I had no idea what an encoder was, but after a quick Google I see that it's a 'speed feedback loop' - does this mean I can use it without the encoder, if I don't need the speed data? Or alternatively is it easy to connect it to a RX on a telemetry channel?

Oh and Happy New Year!
