Best servo for elevation

Post by percy1510 »

Can anyone recommend a good strong micro servo to use for barrel elevation in my tanks. The cheap ones from eBay seem to keep burning out
Thanks

Have you tried to balance the gun,checked the pivots or set the travel limits on the servo.The servo arm might be wanting to move further but its being stopped. I buy job lots of servos on eBay . I use old standard servos like the JR NES 591 . If you have the space try fitting a larger one.
