In your search, add "Exploded View".

Odd, I couldn't find any either. However, I noticed that AMain hobbies is selling them for $99.99, when the other sites have them for $199.
If you can't find the exploded view, just take apart the servo one piece at a time, and make notes of what went first or next. It will only work one way.

here's the thing... i bought a motor for this servo for $25.
i then proceeded to buy a wire lead w/ plug, a housing for it, and the proper gears all for about $30.
so... $100 servo for $55, brand new, made me pretty happy. but now i don't know what to do with it, lol.
there's purple, yellow, and white wires coming off the motor. which is which? my lead has red, black and white.
as for the gears... i think i can figure that out. like you said, rolex, there's really only one way that they can go in. it'd be nice to have some sort of instructions to follow.

I have the same servo. Gotta run right now but I'll open it later this evening and give you some pics of the motor leads.

As long as you note which way the connector is, just follow the left, center and right wires.

wow. i'm missing that circuit board... completely. yeah... this might be a bigger project than i have anticipated! oh well... the challenge is what makes it interesting, right?
any ideas on where i would get one of those circuit boards, or should i just count my losses on this one... contact JR and see what they can do for me, maybe? this should be interesting, lol.
thank you kindly, SD. you're a gentleman and a scholar.

No circuit board? I'm thinking you might want to buy a complete servo at this point, and hold onto your spare parts till you need them.
