Default RE: Did i just kill my servo??????

ORIGINAL: MeanMustang
Oh, and u really shouldn't be verifying the manufacturer's torque claim by forcing the arm...
That's true - but wouldn't it be nice to know which servos (manufacturer/model) really meet their published specifications and which do so without incurring damage?

I'd really like to know if my brand x servo will bust its cogs at its rated torque -- because in my book that means they're not actually the servo they claimed to be.

In this competitive marketplace, I suspect that most manufacturers are tempted to over-state the specifications of their servos.
