2002 Kit Hitec Servo Part Number

[dlavery]

Keith-

If your idea is so dependent on knowing the exact part number and configuration of the servo, then may I make the following suggestion: stop and wait until January 4. Even if you know the exact part number of the servo used in the 2002 kit of parts, there is absolutely NO guarantee that the same part will be used in the 2003 kit. If your idea requires such a high degree of specificity to determine if it is feasible or not, then there is a distinct probability you will end wasting a lot of time and effort if (or when) you find out that the servo used in the 2003 kit doesn't match your design.

To determine the probability of this happening, just take a look at the contents of the kit of parts over last several years. See how often the particular items, particularly the small motors and control system components, change from year to year.

If you can't wait until January, then you might want to see if you can make your design concept a little more flexible in terms of the ability to incorporate alternate servo (or other small motor) configurations. Expect and anticipate changes. Then you will be better prepared should they happen, and you will have a more robust design even if they don't.
