Will the MG966R Servos fit Lynxmotion parts?

I have basically all the parts (including servos) to make my robot apart from the actual body and legs. I’m trying to compatible parts. There’s these Lynxmotion parts that seem to be scattered around Robotshop that seem to be compatible with Hitec (HS-422) servos. I dont have those servos, but different ones. The dimensions are basically the same but the height of the MG966R is 6.3mm more. I will now post the links to the parts im referring to. If not compatible, what else could I get?

Welcome to the community. The MG996R doesn’t seem compatible with the Lynxmotion bracket system. Sorry.


Hitec servos which have the same form factor include: 322 / 422 / 645 / 5645
Don’t know of any bracket system for the MG966R.
Do you have the chance to draw and 3D print your own custom brackets?

You can se the collection of Lynxmotion standard brackets here:

Other brackets can be found here:

Unfortunately there’s no specific hardware for the MG966R, so cannot suggest options.
Perhaps others in the community may reply with ideas or suggestions.
