I can't confirm that regular steering servos will work, it's possible never tried one, the guy who told me this years ago told me they had to be continuous servos. I tried micro continuous servos and they work but they drift, these tower pro MG 995 continuous servos are around $20 for 4 on Amazon and they don't drift, so still very cheap.
Never left RC but got into some other projects and stepped away for a bit, had some life changing things happen in 2019, my dad passed, lost my job of over 30 years, so I had to bounce around from job to job til I found a new fit, got that all straightened out, then my wife and I bought a camp so that's an ongoing project but well under control now, so I'm back to what I love and keeps me sane [emoji38]
I remember about your girlfriend, my condolences bud, camp is a little bit of commitment but not bad, house is paid off and camp is as well so it's more of a maintenance matter more than anything, I haven't explored much yet up there but I'm sure I'll find some good spots[emoji16]
I haven't done or inspected it myself, but I've seen a video of someone taking apart a steering servo and removing/cutting the pin off one of the gears to allow it to become a continuous servo. It was basically a video on how to convert a steering servo to continuous for winching.
So it's definitely possible, I may try it later tonight , I'll report my findings.
Thanks! It's very easy to do and fairly quick as well.
