¤ servo conversion ¤

:ö: if you have a Mini-X, Micro RS4 or any smaller rc project and you don't want to buy a 1/10 rc electronics (Reciever and ESC seperately) , you can now use your Mini-Z electronics (Reciever and ESC all in one board) on your Mini-RC, now all of us know that a Mini-Z servo is different from other Mini-RC who uses a sub-micro servo, which is a small version of the standard size servo used on 1/10 scale, and we all know that a standard size and sub-micro servo have 3 wires that connects directly to a reciever [red(+), black(-), and white(?)] and we need to use those three wires for it to work properly right? in case of 1/10 or of those who uses seperate RX the answer is yes, but for us to use it on our Mini-Z board the answer is NO, and it's quite impossible because the Z board have 4 wires connected to the servo, two for the Motor (black and red) and two on the potentioner (flesh and green where in one wire is connected on two of the pots feet) now here's a way on how we can use a sub-micro servo such as picco P&C 9grams sub-micro servo using Mini- Z electronics.
heres how....

1. remove the the four tiny long screw on the sub-micro servo.

2. the servo case has three parts, the cover, the body, and the gear case.

3.remove the cover only and carefully pull out the servo electronic board with the motor directly soldered on it.

4.the servo electronic board have three wires (yellow, green, flesh) connected to the servo potentioner plus the three colored wires (use to connect to a RX)

5.remove those three wires (yellow, green and flesh) from the pot by using a soldering iron.

6. then remove the motor from the servo board with your soldering iron too and place the motor back to it's original position on the servo.

7.now you can keep the servo electronic out (for future use), and you have a pot, motor and the gears left with you.

8.now the Z servo has a motor, pot and gears inside, two wires (black and red) connects the servo motor and Z board and another two (flesh and green) that connects to the pot. you may notice that one wire is soldered on the two of the three feet of the pot.

9.remove the wires on the Mini-Z servo motor and solder it on sub-micro servo motor,

10.then remove the wires on the Z pot and solder it to the sub-micro servo pot, the same manner as how it is soldered in on the Z's potentioner, wherein, one wire is soldered on two of the three feet of the potentioner.

..... now you have a Mini-Z board with a sub-micro servo that you can use on your Mini-X, Micro RS4 or any small RC that requires a 1/10 RC electronics and a 130 size or smaller motor.
