Very interesting. Thank you. In the meantime, I bought a 180W servo motor, but to be honest, I am so far not impressed by that one. I feel that the holding torque is really poor, but maybe there are some parameters I missed and it can be configured better. However, this is version 552, and those have been replaced with version 6 which supposed to be better. I actually complained to the seller because he sold it as the "latest version" but it was obvious that it's not. I contacted the factory and got a reply that this version should not be sold overseas any more. Then I contacted the seller again and he offered me 100% refund, which was accepted. So now I have a free servo I can play with, but in the end, I may need to buy a 400W version if I want good holding torque also.
