Correct Roy. There are continuous running servos or one cat take a standard old servo and make it run continuously. I converted two old servos to turn the props on my 1/35 scale LCM. Got fwd/rโธev plus speed control. If the servo turns too fast (i.e. a turret) there are devices that allow one to reduce the speed of the servo electronicly. Lew Florida โฑ๏ธ, USA ๐บ๐ธ

Thanks for the response Bill B. Yes in some cases I just use a "Y cable" to get two movements at once. You can bring "all guns to bear" with one command. Toradog showed what I was looking for a simple connector from Gobuilda

For some reason the rest of my post disappeared. Another way to achieve connection is to mount a drum, sized to fit your needs, to the servo output wheel. Somewhat like a sail drum servo, but smaller. Another way is to use some of those left over servo output wheels, or crosses and adapter them for you output. I've glued shafts to one and screwed it ti the wheel already mounts to the servo. Lastly, there are linear servos still available and they can have their throw increase through the use of bell-cranks which will increase their throw.

CommodoreH, If I understand correctly you could have a y-splitter cable to make 2 servos mimic movement? (say in the case of rudder/wheel) If this is the case, would it be possible to piggyback cables to control searchlights & gun turrets. Sorry if I'm missing the point ๐

Anyone have an easy idea to connect stuff directly to servo output to shaft? It would be very useful to rotating things like, searchlights, guns, water cannons,etc. I have accomplished this in many ways but it would be nice to find a simple straightforward method. Some of my models have a visible steering wheel that rotates with rudder.

Looking on Aliexpress the other day I came across another similar unit but you could set the end points for the servo so the exact amount of turn could be set, it was about a fiver. Roy
