Increased servo rotation
Have an old Futaba s125 servo. I would like to use this in my Northwind 36 which I am building now. Is there a way to increase the rotation of the arm to about 180dgrees?? Or am I better off buying a new servo. PLEASE HELP

RE: Increased servo rotation
I modified a couple of Hitec servos by adding resistors to the pot to get more movement.
I also tried a servo stretcher with a servo that was hard to modify.

RE: Increased servo rotation
Do you think this procedure ( stated in the links above) will work on a hitec 755 1'4 scale servo...seems easy to do anyway.
Thanks

RE: Increased servo rotation
The only difference should be that you have more room to mount the resistors - the end of the circuit that you intend working on should be identical to its little cousin.
