Re: Servos', what type, what torque?

Chris,

OOPS!!!, Yes, of course, 40 in-lbs, (too early in the morning).

I've noticed the two most common sizes on B'port size machines are
the 40's and 19's like on your EZtraks. Don't recall seeing anything
in between, for some reason those are "standard" torque ratings.

thanks for the correction,

Doug
