Hi guys,

Hope this is the right place for this. I'm not a frequent poster on this forum so apologies if I'm not following correct protocol.

Basically, I'm after a Supertec Pico servo motor (http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk/acatalog/7720285.jpg) that is sitting unused or surplus to requirements. Essentially I'm being really cheeky here and looking to scrounge one for peanuts.

I've spent the day butchering my Chaos 2 toy to make it fully radio-controlled and I'm using Supertec Picos for drive. I used to have two but I think one got knacked and thrown away so there's only one wheel on my wagon at the moment

If anyone has one available on the cheap (I could cover postage) please let me know here, in a PM, or by email 'lenny_1024@hotmail.com'
It doesn't have to be modified for 360 rotation as I appear to have managed it with a degree of success on my existing servo, but if it is then that's cool

Also doesn't need to include servo horns, but if the little screw is with it, that would be a help.

Many thanks,
Jamie

P.S. I just named this as a general 'Wanted' thread so it can be used for other wanted items

Yeah thanks, I was looking to blag one for little cost but I've earned some money for dismantling (read: mindlessly trashing

) a hut so I guess I should stop playing the skint card and fork out for one

I probably have the remains of 4+ picos in my toolbox, I'd have to have a root around and see what I could find. Is it literally just the motor you need?

Hi Scott,

It would be a complete servo I'm looking for; I realise I've worded it as servo motor though in my first post, which is maybe a bit misleading. But yeah, servo motor, pot, control board, gears and casing, the works basically.
If you have enough remains to make a complete one that would be great, but if not, don't worry.

Thanks

You should be able to find standard size servos cheap on Ebay like these or maybe second-hand ones at your local model shop (if you have one!)
