Servo prep basics. Here are a few tips to help make sure that you assemble your servos properly.




Have you ever had trouble inserting brass eyelets into the rubber servo grommets?




Here's an easy way to accomplish this task. Take the eyelet and slip it over the pointed end of an awl.




Then begin to press the eyelet into the rubber grommet...




Until it's seated, then just pull out the awl. You're done!




On the subject of rubber grommets, careful attention must be given in making sure the grommets are installed correctly. It's possible that you've never noticed that there is a size difference between the top and bottom portion of the grommet. The top is slightly narrower than the bottom.




The reason is because of this small divider. It's easy to accidentally slip them on upside down...




The servo on the left has the grommets installed correctly, while the one on the right has the grommets installed upside down.
