Everyone is different, so the same question is met with different replies.

I know OD is the guru, so is Layman and George Lin, Caliendo . . .

I'll bug them with the occasional question but where does that really get me?

At some point I have to understand the system in my own way. OD doesn't have the time. Layman/Lin/Caliendo have different answers to the same question. This is really valuable.

I appreciate your feedback because communication is really what it's all about.

If I didn't care I wouldn't have posted my servo salvo . . .
Jeff,
I'm a little surprised that you would take offense at my reply to your post about the size of the two servos, it wasn't intended as a slight on you in any way. There is so much misinformation flying around that I assumed someone had told you the servos were radically different. Truth is, I have never measured either one, since I can interchange the two without any modifications to the set up. I stand corrected that they have different dimensions, but the differences don't matter in the practical sense. Use whichever one you want, they are both good. Most of my team drivers prefer the 9602. In my own experience the 9602 is better, in so much as a metal gear servo holds up longer. And the 9602 is ssmmmooothe!

Layman and George are team drivers, they will always try to help anyone who asks. They are not only great drivers, they are good people, and that is a requirement for getting on my team.

In the end you have do have to figure it out for yourself, you just have to filter all the information everyone gives you. Any time you would like to have some more, just ask

Scottrick,
Thanks for having my back, friend. You are verbose to an extreme, and some other words I have to go look up
