I love the idea of using a servo board as an ESC, do you have an instructions on how to do this?
I am going to need a cheap way to control my turret rotation, this would work.
Cheers !

Those metal gears are not worth the money. The T34 gearboxes wear out because the shafts spin in makeshift plastic bushings. The metal gear make them wear even faster.
Servo hacking is great. You can disconnect the potentiometer and you have a proportional gearbox that works off a hobby radio. You can remove the stops, wire directly to the motor and have a standard gearbox, you can take the board out and use it as an ESC to run standard motors. I did this when I put a HL turret motor in my Tam KT. Lots of possibilities.

Here's a link where I show how I did mine.

The gearbox mod in this thread is awesome Donut
