PF Servo motors

[domik]

Hello, recently I repaired my servo motor's cable, but the next day the pcb plate inside it burnt. It must've been me flipping the motor so that the things for soldering cables could touch the plate. Anyways, I don't have a servo now, and I have a couple of options.

I thougth I could buy some cheap random servo from allegro, which is a polish amazon or something like that, a cada one, or an original Lego. If you could help, maybe have some experience with servos, I appreciate anything! The most I'm curious about is are the original Lego ones worth it? It's a big price difference, but I think it could be worth it. What are your thoughts?

The original lego one is proportional when given a correct input, none of the other ones are. (unless a new one came out recently that does- but I doubt it)

Same as above. I have CADA, mould king, and some cheap servo-motor from aliexpress. None have proportional steering. Either get a new used one, PU L Motor as a steering motor - if you have the option, or Geekservo if you use RC stuff.

This is the best option by far. More force than the other options, more precision, IMO better form factor, and cheaper. The only downside is wrapping your head around rc electronics is a little daunting at first.

On 5 of my servos cable deteriored (and internal wires are broken!) despite they were in the box; noone touched them (or thete are pergaps ghosts?)

I bought severl 3rd party servos on Allegro and feel happy. Despite I own 2 original ones.
UPD: Mine are Carolyns bricks ones
