Hexawalker

Hello my fellow stampers.
I want to build a hexawalker from scratch. I am going to use two
servos per leg. And, since I'll need twelve of these suckers I need
suggestions where to find them cheap. The lowest I found was around
12 dollars from parallax, which isn't bad but if I can go cheaper it
sure would help the project along. Thanks,
Frank G.

They are only $8.00 each, and are excellent servos.
I think they are replicas of the Futaba FP-S148 servos.

the Ts-53 standard servo with a futaba j connector on it costs $9.99 each or
3 for $26.99
or there HItec rcd servos
# sg2905 hs-300 with futaba j connector is also $9.99 each and i think
they would be about your best choice for them

Try ebay! (ebay.com)
It's amazing the stuff you can find there. I just purchased eight
servos (albiet older ones) off of ebay for about $47 including
shipping. It includes a bunch of horns and extensions and misc stuff
that I probably want. I've had enormous success using ebay. Check it
out. There's always used servos available. Might take you a bit to
get the ones you want or enough matching pairs but hey...
Good luck!
