Hi,
I read a comment in the Pheonix description :-
“Note, this robot, as cool looking as it is, does not have the payload carrying capability of the other hexapods available from Lynxmotion. There is a penalty for pivoting the joints on the servo output shaft alone.”
Having looked at the other hexapods, I’m not sure what is meant by this. They all look like the joints are pivoted on the output shafts with a bearing under the servo.
Thanks in advance for clarifying and forgive my ignorance.
Hi Manfred.
Please allow me to explain this.
as you can see from the picture, you can see only one part thing connecting between the servo pivot points:
As oppose to this CH3-R Hexapod, were the servos are supported by the top and bottom of the servo pivot points with a “C” bracket:
with more support there is less strain on the servo shaft. 
Hope this helps.
If you really want the phoenix you can also double up the femur parts buy ordering spares. you will require:

Hmm, I should have known it was a dumb question. :b It’s so bloody obvious now. Thank you Jonny.
