Hd Servo Recommendations

Hey guys.

I'm looking for recommendations for a heavy duty servo, the same size and power requirements as the EZ-Robot HD ones, but at least twice as strong in regards to torque and holding positions, and that will also play nice with the EZ-B.

I know that most, if not all servos will work with the EZ-B, and I have looked online to see what's available, but I'm hoping someone can recommend a strong reasonably priced servo you might be using and would suggest.

Thanks.

@Steve.... Can you not use a cheap geared DC motor and potentiometer in your joint that you are controlling? However, I realize servos are more of an elegant solution to moving joints....

@Richard.

It was something I considered a while back when doing my K-9 build, to control the neck mechanism. It may be something to look back in to, but as you say, a servo would be a more neater way of doing it. I reckon the 40kg-cm servo I linked to in post #7 may do the trick, but I haven't seen many reviews on it which is something I would like to check out if I was to spend 55/$77 on one.
