    Default Servo mod

    Hello everyone.
    My first post on this site. Im young and looking into getting into modding, just bought my 1st dremel.
    Anyway i was looking at Crimsonsky's Doom 3 mod log and noticed that he had problems with servos because they could only turn 45 degrees. However there is a very simple mod that alows for any standard servo to be able to turn full 360 degrees, as if it was a normal motor. All one must do is remove the outer cover of the Servo and one should find a hat shaped gear that covers the shaft. On top of this gear should be a little nitch, or block, which serves to prevent the servo from over rotating, by simply cutting or removing this little nitch the servo has full rotation. Hope thats not too confusing, if in dought just open up servo and look for a little pretruding block.
