What do you want to do to them? Theres quite a few ways to mod a servo . . .
If you want to use them as antweight motors, then im pretty sure the modding would be the same as any other servo, just disconnect the pot and remove the piece of plastic that stops them doing more than 360^o

ok i checked them sites and the sevos in them are still bigger and made diffrent to myn. On myn the output gear is locked to the potentiometer really tight and there is no tab on the gear it was in the top casing. I use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the tab from the top case and a tiny tiny watch srewdriver to bore a biger hole in the output gear to let it spin free. the only problem is doing the swich with the motor wires as it's so tiny to solder, but it was posible messy but posible... you just cut them half way then cross them to there opposing wire and solder and your done.
Preaty powerful to for a motor half the size of a 5c coin and extremly light about 1 gram per sevo. good to drive realy ultra light bots. _________________ If you can't fix it then smash it ..... and start all over again
