View Full Version : Looking for 360 degree (only) Servo

I'm looking for a medium heavy servo (like Hitec 715 or 725) with a
travel of at least 340 degrees. A winch servo like the 725 doesn't work
because its designed to make about 7 full turns for a full range of
pulse widths - making the position resolution pretty sloppy within one
rotation. Yes, I can do gears or install an external potentiometer - I
was just hoping to find a servo I could use without modification but my
web surfing isn't turning one up.

Any pointers to manufacturer/model would be appreciated.
tnx

I've got an FP-S136G. Its a futaba retract servo.

Will that work?
