Servo Stretcher

Bob_V:
I need to modify a Hitech HS-765HB servo to operate over 180 degrees instead of the standard 90 degrees. I have been trying to locate a supplier for a servo stretcher such as this:-   http://www.servocity.com/html/180o_servo_stretcher.html  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Gribeauval

I have that article. In fact I am currently building a Fairwind using that as a building guide. Unfortunately my sail servo appears be a more modern version which uses surface mount technology. The printed circuit board is soldered in and up to now I have not found a way to get at it. This is why I am looking for a servo stretcher.

Hi Bob V, I was interested in the servostretcher from servocity last year but the post and packing is very high.  Maybe if a few guys wanted them an order could be put in to save on postage, but then they have to be sent out again.  Nobody seems to import them.
Regards Roy

Hi Bob To get into a hitech servo you need to either unsolder the motor connections 3 of them, or attack from the other end and after opening up the gears push out the motor ( push on the end of the motor shaft/cog) and thus push out the pcb still attached to the motor
