Mini servos
« on: October 30, 2006, 11:28:32 PM »
Does anybody know where I can get some really light, small servos?

Also a four to six channel radio system that is small and light.

I have an incerdibly limited budget!

FYI, servocity.com has incorrect data for like 90% of the servos (dimensions, torque, speed, voltage, max angle).

Refer to the manufacturer datasheets just to make sure of what you buy has correct info:

http://www.futaba-rc.com/

The tower hobbies site is sometimes cheaper, and they have more of the microsized servos than servocity does.

Thanks for that, what about radio controllers?

The same two sites Jesse suggested is probably the best. Dont get the full kits though, because they make you buy servos you may or may not want.
