- Servo - Hitec HS-422 (Standard Size)
This is the classic Hitec HS-422 servo. This solid consumer grade servo is able to take in 6 volts and deliver 57 oz-in. of maximum torque at 0.16 sec/60°, this is a simple servo for any beginner project!
This high quality servo is perfect for your mechatronic needs and if you are looking to get into robotics, this is where to start. The HS-422 servo comes standard with a 3-pin power and control cable and all hardware listed below.
Note: The pulse width range listed in the datasheet is listed as 1500-1900usec. Based on our own testing we found it to be 500-2500usec.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current.

Based on 1 ratings:
Are you sure this has 180 degrees rotation? From the datasheet, it sounds like only 45 degrees. Or dies "operating angle" mean something else?
This is actually something that appears to be oft-discussed in hobbby RC forums. Just as a summary: These are hobby devices with varying amounts of error (i.e. you'll always want to send pulses and get the actual angles and compensate in code accordingly). The 45 degrees refers to a single direction. This implies that it has a 90° range if you take both directions. However, that's is assumed to just be what the manufacturer is willing to state as being the range that they'll 'guarantee'; in practice many have found the range to be 180° .. or nearly that (e.g. 178°). And if that makes you think "ugh.. then how am I supposed to figure out what the actual range is?", it looks like you could form a club with similarly frustrated people :) Your best bet seems to be to google the part and check people's actual findings (keeping in mind that yours may vary somewhat).
