Robot magazine pointed out some new high-performance digital servos from Blue Bird, which sound really amazing for the price.  The <a href="http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id=V518150&amp;pid=V644336" class="postlink">BMS-660MG</a>, for example, hase 13 Kg cm of torque for only $42 (at 4.8V; at 6.0V it's 14 Kg cm!).<br /><br />However, even the manufacturer's spec doesn't say what the operating angle of these things is.  BP Hobbies' site seems to imply it may be less than other servos, since with a Traxxas Revo you can easily drive them beyond their normal range and end up stripping the gears.  I also don't know whether this is something that can be reprogrammed, or how one would do that.  But at $42 for 14 Kg cm, it seems well worth consideration — even the servos in the new Manoi AT01 are only 10.5 Kg cm!<br /><br />Any thoughts on this?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />— Joe<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://forum.robosavvy.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=299">Joe</a> — Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:13 am</p><hr />
