Modifying a servo for continual rotation carries with it a few limitations, exceptions, and?gotchas? that you?ll want to keep in mind: The average servo is not engineered for lots and lots of continual use. The mechanicsof the servo are likely to wear out after perhaps as little as 25 hours (that?s elapsed time),depending on the amount of load on the servos. Models with metal gears and/or brassbushing or ball bearings will last longer. The control electronics of a servo are made for intermittent duty. Servos used to power arobot across the floor may be used minutes or even hours at a time, and they tend to be underadditional mechanical stress because of the weight of the robot. Though this is not exactlycommon, it is possible to burn out the control circuitry in the servo by overdriving it.
so basically what the book said was wrong...
