This is the epitome of the phrase "appearances can be deceiving," and trust us, with the Hitec HS-85MG that couldn't be more true. The HS-85MG is able to take in 6 volts and deliver 49 oz-in. of maximum torque at 0.14sec/60°, and this guy is only about the size of a bottle cap!
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-85MG servo comes standard with a 3-pin power and control cable and all hardware listed below.
This skill concerns mechanical and robotics knowledge. You may need to know how mechanical parts interact, how motors work, or how to use motor drivers and controllers.
Skill Level: Competent - You may need an understanding of servo motors and how to drive them. Additionally, you may need some fundamental understanding of motor controllers.

Whether it's for assembling a kit, hacking an enclosure, or creating your own parts; the DIY skill is all about knowing how to use tools and the techniques associated with them.
Skill Level: Noob - Basic assembly is required. You may need to provide your own basic tools like a screwdriver, hammer or scissors. Power tools or custom parts are not required. Instructions will be included and easy to follow. Sewing may be required, but only with included patterns.

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.

For a small servo it packs quite the punch! I replaced the micro sized with this one and while it's around 50% larger, it does a much better job. It also had metal gears compared to the plastic ones on the cheaper servos.
Was easy to integrate into my project.
Came across a nice 3D model of this part: http://grabcad.com/library/hitec_hs-85mg
