Whats the internals looking like? It might be you want a mechanical solution rather than an electronic one. If the servo is designed for 5V, and you are running it like that. Instead maybe you could add some gearing? Hi Eddie, The claw is powered by a pololu geared motor with an extra reduction sta...

Looks solid!

I went out and did it today. You can see the result through the link.

What kind of improvement can I expect to see when I hook it up to the BEC of my receiver powered by a 7.4V 25C lipo?

Could anyone please recommend a way of getting or making small tires to fit on a custom hub?
