Hello everyone.
There is a gizmo for hobby servos that is a set of gears that effectively
"amplifies" the push/pull power of a hobby
servo. I've seen them here and there, but can't think of what they are called;
and so far simple Google searches haven't
gotten me anywhere.

I'm sure someone on here knows what I am talking about! I'm looking for the name
of the gizmos and/or a web site that
offers them.

Your help is appreciated in advance !
JCD

Yeah - that's it !!! The Gear Box !!!
Thanks Gordon !

For those interested, since the robotzone website seems to be under
reconstruction at the moment, I went looking for
more info on the gear box itself, and found some here:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?tS7050  Scroll
down to the post marked "Engine Shaft Rotator #4" to find a blurb on servo
modifications needed to use the gear box.

Thanks again !

if you were into building your own servo's out of say, windshield wiper
motors you could also use something like

www.openservo.org

which has mostof the design work you need (be it on a smaller scale)
