Hello All, I have just purchased a new TYCO 9.6V Zig Zag car. It seems to have a fairly good base w/treads. I connected it to the handyboard (after gutting it and extending the wires ).

If, (...) (27 years ago, 1-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The two I recommend are Tower Hobbies (www.towerhobbies.com) and Hobby Shack (www.hobbyshack.com). Either of these sells servos cheaper (...) (27 years ago, 1-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
