You open up a servo and centre the potentiometer/ replace with 2* 2.2k resistors.

Remove the board from it and replace the stock motor with a brushed motor of your choice.

cool beans, i've had a look at my servos and mist of them are brushless so I will try and get a brushed servo.

I have a feeling he servos in question are brushed, basically meaning they incorporate brushed motors. Brushless servos normally don't cost under ?100.
