What is the smallest, lightest, cheap and inexpensive servo I could buy?

Okey, when the going gets tough.

The tough needs to go on a diet.

So if I'm to build a super insane robot with 30 something servos.

It would be darn obese.

Anyone have any idea which mini servo I should use?

I live in Australia and shipping leaves me wallet oh so empty.

I’ve never bought these

I’ve never bought these servos before, and I don’t know if they’re the cheapest you’ll find- but…

I’ve got 4 of these HXT900

I’ve got 4 of these HXT900 for $3.65 each. Not used much yet, shipping was cheap.

They have an HXT500 for $3.49 each.

And a Turnigy TG9 for $2.99 each.

Note all these are not real strong, ok for their size, but not a lot of push compared to standard servos.

I just ordered a few packs of these from Ebay

More useful for UK 'bot builders ( What is the collective noun for robot builders ? )
