Well, on my quest for perfect servo centering, I managed to damage a good deal of my HS-311. I melted a gear or two and damaged the housing as well. The servo control board is still in good shape as well as the motor. I assume that I should be able to use the board with another motor if I wanted, correct? What would be the drawbacks of doing this and what exactly is the board that controls the servo? Is it a budget H-bridge?

you can't just use any motor with the board because you could fry the board.

I not sure about that but if a motor requires more current it won't burn the board...
But it's unlikely to work...
Sure the board is still good to use!!!

I'd just keep the servo for spare swap-out parts.
Based on my personal experience, you will break more servos in the future :P

Yeah, I guess I probably will at that... Picked up a couple of HS-425BB's yesterday for $17 each and they were a breeze to modify. I was looking for 422's but the RC store didn't have any.
