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 !
