DC motors may be a problem with this type of setup?

DC motors may be a problem with this type of setup?

I think it would, it’s the power demands, the servos have much smaller DC motors than the final drive ones, same as the propeller motor on a helicopter would be drawing at full revs almost the entire power output. A board like that would be excellent for servos that are on/off and small, but I think the motor shield somehow manages to distribute the power a lot better, who knows though lol ? This is all new to me. I do have a servo and sensor shield I could try it , but I expect they made a motor shield for a reason rather than just have one sensor – servo – motor board.. don’t quote me on that it’s just a feeling
I've seen a video somewhere where you can use a small heat sensor that regulates the fan speed via Arduino code.
