OH - those are BRUSHLESS? Then, they almost certainly will NOT work
with the Gecko Servo drives. There were some special brushless motors
made to be installed as drop-in retrofits for brush motors, but other than those,
you can't run brushless motors on a brush servo drive without a commutation
box in between. Mariss is working on such a project, but I don't think it is
"front burner".
