- | HiTEC HS-645MG servo before modification | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{::servo-modify-000.jpg?nolink&500|}} | + | |
- | + | ||
- | no soldering, no cutting, no part replacements..... | + | |
- | + | ||
- | !!! the modification is **reversible** (if you keep all the parts and don't damage anything, of course) | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== step 1: remove the screw which holds the arm ==== | + | |
- | + | ||

- | ==== step 5: remove the screw which holds the potentiometer in place ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{::servo-modify-005.jpg?nolink&500|}} | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== step 6: remove the metal gear ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * the gear with the pin will come off together with the second gear shown on the piece of paper. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{:servo-modify-006.jpg?nolink&500|}} | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== step 7: pull the potentiometer out ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * it should come out very easily, no force needed | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{::servo-modify-007.jpg?nolink&500|}} | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== step 8: make a hole in the casing ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * the hole should be big enough for the three potentiometer wires to pass comfortably when you close back the casing. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{::servo-modify-008.jpg?nolink&500|}} | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== step 9: remove the metal pin from the gear ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * hold the pin with a pair of locking pliers. gently hit the top of the gear with a hammer to push the pin out. be careful not to damage the gear. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * you can save the pin, in case you want to modify the servo back to normal | + | |

- | + | ||
- | ==== step 10: put the gears back in place ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * make sure to put them back all the way so they can move | + | |
