Re: Legality of Linear Actuators

It is legal, provided that its motor is legal. Take a look at R32 for the allowed motor list.

Chances are that the stock motor isn't legal and will need to be replaced with a legal one. Unless you can count it as a servo, but it's really close to the cost limit and isn't sold as one by default.

Your best bet is to use the actuator, but remove the motor for one listed in R32.
