Servo Integration for a Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone!

I’m pleased to announce several new products but I’m saving the best for last!

First, we are going to begin stocking our most popular items in both unanodized and black anodized aluminum. You can request any aluminum part be anodized at no charge, but if we stock it, you don’t have to wait! Today, I added 23L and the 5×3 T Liftarms in black anodized to my store.

We also expanded our liftarm line to include a 4L aluminum liftarm. That’s as small as we’ll get for standard liftarms since TLG already makes and sells the 2L liftarm.

We’ve also developed a 3×3 L-shaped liftarm with tapped connection holes on the ends and corner. The remaining two holes are standard Technic holes for use with any standard Technic pin or our steel anti-rotation pins. The tapped holes fit standard 10/24 cap screws.

The Long Awaited Servo Integration Kit!

Contents of the Servo Integration Kit

Our servo adapter kit lets you power your MOCs using standard hobby servos. It provides LEGO standard attachment points for both the housing and the servo horn. The kit works with many popular Futaba and Hitec standard size servos.

Imagine powering your robot or vehicle using a motor with 7x the stall torque of a LEGO XL Motor! Of course, the kit works equally well with most other standard sized Futaba and Hitec servos. Our servo connection plate can adapt to Lego plastic axles or 3/16 steel axles (one 4L sized axle of each material is included. We include set screws for both types of axle.

The plate also features integrated mount points for LEGO liftarms and our custom aluminum liftarms.

You can also attach our custom liftarms or other Technic® compatible elements to the face of our proprietary horn. The horn is designed to mount to either Futaba or Hitec servos (or other brands who conform to their designs). Our unique horn design gives you the option to use either size standard without having to worry about which horn or servo you happen to have available.
