Using VESC remote with non-VESC ESC

Hi,

I'm currently building something to power my snowboard on the flat. The ESC that I have had to be compatible with the motor I needed from a particular company, so it's proprietary to their motor (the company is not related in any way to skateboards).
I'm looking to not re-invent the wheel when it comes to controlling the ESC and skateboard remotes look like a great option. Is there any way these remotes can be used to control ESCs other than VESC, Hobbywing and YingLis?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Depends on what the input of the ESC is.

Sorry, I don't understand. I want the input of my ESC to be a VESC remote.

Again, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that. The ESC I'm using is the following

Is there any way to tell from looking at it ? The manual isn't helpful

Ok, I've been told that I should have said PWM for use with remote control aircraft servos in answer to the question above.

does that help?

thanks

I think the answer is PWM.
