· You guys are helping me alot so now it is my turn. I found these pages in an old Growbot Manual. It will probally work on many Futuba servo motors. Now it will be easier to get higher torque servos to run continous.

    Can a BS2 handle the current or do I need a H bridge. I know electronics enough to know you don't get something for nothing. lol

    Hey, if you want continous rotation servos, I can trade you parallax ones in exchange for standard servos... I'll even trade them 3 cont. rotation servos for 2 standards. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    I have been doing some research and will go with Z650M or similar. As my bot grows I think it will need higher torque motors. Metal gears are also nice. I found a place that will do the work and still keep the warrenty. Thanks anyway. Interestted in 2 stepper motors and a Little U parallax motor driver set? Contact me on email eelderson410@yahoo.com
