Expect to wait even a couple days before getting a reply to your posts, Strydom.

As long as its an analog and not a digital servo you can use it. The modification to make it continuously rotate should be pretty much the same as well.

That servo you posted a link to is actually a little bit stronger than the HS-311 which should make you happy. Just remember to get 2 of them to make your drive system :)

All analog servos are the same, and digitals are mad expensive so dont worry 'slong as you have three cords, red black and white or yellow
