servo not for steering?

[itoero]

Can I use a servo motor for other functions then steering?

Examples: Controlling a pneumatic valve, toggles, sequential paddle shift gearbox, and many more.

Just imagine... 

[msk6003]

Servo motor can rotate only 180 digree.

Can use unlimeted!

can  I use it to up and down lift a trunk like the one in 42029?

Yes, but if it lift that trunk, it will work like a catapult :D

[itoero]

Can I put the servo directly on the axle that leads to the actuator which lifts the trunk?

No extra gear required?

It won't work. Servo turns only 45 degrees in one way. So you would need to put a lot of gears before the actuator to extend it to its full length but at the same time a lot of gears mean a lot of slack and resistance.

Actually it turns 90 degrees each way, but that doesn't change your conclusion of course.

Ok and M motor don't work with v2?

Why not?

[tomek9210]

It does work with either V1 or V2 receiver. If it does not work, your M motor or receiver is broken.

[itoero]

ah ok, I thought v2 and M didn't work toogether.

As said by Philo in this topic:

Noise suppressing capacitor in the M-motor is far too large, causing high current surges that fools V2 motor driver into believing that it's output is shorted. Generally V2 works fine with only one M-motor, but not with two M-motors on the same output.

As for your main question, you can use the servo for whatever you want, it's just a motor that doesn't turn all the way round.
