Guys I have two main questions about gear motors.
1. I have two micro servos (http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-9g-Mini-Servo-Futaba-Hitec-HS-55-GWS-walkera-RC-/170507970869?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27b3112935 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-9g-Mini-Servo-Futaba-Hitec-HS-55-GWS-walkera-RC-/170507970869?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27b3112935)) with plastic gears.can I winch them and use to drive my robot? if so what will be the max rpm and torque?
2. can we use cheap 3v motor with warm and warm wheel mechanism to get good torque to drive a robot? is there any tutorial I can follow?
thank you

I know English isn't your first language so figuring out what you mean took a minute of thought. So, to help out anyone else reading this here is what I think you mean. Please do not take offense as your English is fair Superior to my any other language.
can I winch them and use to drive my robot?
A winch does not have 'stops' so it can continuously rotate.
Most hobby servos can be modified for continuously rotation. However, some are easier to do than others. Hopefully some one has experience with the servos you linked to.
Futaba should have the specs for those servos on their web site listing the torque and speed (how long it takes to move 90°).
warm and warm wheel mechanism
This is a Worm and Worm gear drive.
This is a viable method to get a speed (RPM) reduction and torque increase.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks for the translation - I thought aruna1 was planning to burn rubber to get better traction ;D
Worm drives (hot or cold) is a very good way to get a large gear reduction without taking up too much space (and axles), as long as it's OK that it's a one way/locking drive (actually an added bonus in many applications).
Non locking (or two-way) worm drives can be found, but have less reduction for a given overall size.
