I Got that whole 'tv remote to ir' thing goin on, but for some reason it will barely even move! the controls on the remote opperate the bot just fine, but it goes really, really slow! Are my servos bad or am I doing something wrong? Oh, I'm using parallax PM servos if that helps at all... Thanks, ps, I am wanting to eventually swap these with r/c motors....

    It probably has to do with how you've written your program. You'll have to post what program you have (as an attachment please) to get useful help. It's very unlikely that the problem is your servos. Their speed depends on the control pulse that they are sent. If the pulse width is too close to the "stop" value of roughly 1.5ms, then they'll move slowly. The closer the pulse is to 1ms or 2ms, the faster they'll move.
