In any event, is this symptomatic of brushless servos? Thx
I've been told to not try to manually rotate brushless servos due to the magnet strength of the motor? My brushless servos are also pretty tough to rotate and one of them especially, a sanwa servo that feels exactly like what you describe but works fine in use.
