Does anything offer proportional control over the servo?

Built the one contraption for unikitty transport above. Servo seems powerful with near zero play. Coming from an RC background I'm impressed by it. However my testing is hampered by my complete newbness at mounting the servo... what I cobbled together leaves a lot to be desired The motors seem fairly powerful, in a quick gearing up test with a propeller the motor pushed a reasonably impressive amount of air. I plan to test this better at some point. The battery and receiver are integrated in the one unit. The lithium battery would be replaceable easily as it uses a proper connector to the board (not soldered).

That's correct, it is a very simple controller. The hub can connect to an app, so that may or may not offer proportional controls; I have not tried yet. I bought it so my 6yo and I can motorize our creations; and it is perfect for such so far. Turn on hub, turn on controller, play. No messing with bluetooth, which is too much trouble when you're 6, lol. Our first creation with my decades old technic collection. CAD, not €

I just took delivery of a Pomok brand motor+controller+battery. see: Pomok Power Functions Motor set First impression is quite positive as they are basically identical to the PF motors, but with a rechargeable battery and proper 2.4ghz controller. It feels like this is what Lego should have made, instead of the app-dependant mess that is the PoweredUp system.
