Re: Hitec H-322HD Servo + 3.6 lbs of metal = success?

In the ifirobotics FAQ (December 2004), they state that "The total combined current that can be supplied from all 16 PWM Output +7.2V header pins is 4 Amp. This current is supplied from the Backup Battery."

Earlier the stall torque was used to calculate the force you can use... operating a motor in stall for more than a second or so will often let the magic smoke out.
