LX-16A Servo not available online from Amazon. about sawppy_rover HOT 7 CLOSED

I placed 2 orders for LX-16A servos this past summer. Between the two orders, they were temporarily out of stock for a bit so I had to wait. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you have the same luck.

It's quite possible the latest scare has disrupted flow of logistics, but I can tell you this has happened before even without a medical scare. Since the time I started this project I have noticed LX-16A and/or debug board occasionally running out of stock on Amazon with no estimated restock date. These periods of scarcity lasts a few weeks, roughly the time we'd expect a shipping container to travel across the Pacific.

If you have the luxury of a few weeks of time, you should be able to wait out the dry spell. If not, it's time to get creative to adapt other actuators to drive your Sawppy.

I am not aware of other LX-16A retailers within continental United States.

When I just checked, there were 2 of the LX-16A with the not required brackets in stock:

Feb 12, 2020: And now they are gone again but at least we know that they probably aren't gone for good...just need to wait a bit for a resupply.

@TheMightyCodeCoder I just checked and it looks like you can pre-order now for a March 12th in-stock date:

And the asking price has gone up from $14.99/ea to $16.99/ea. Roughly what we expected to see for increased tariffs imposed by the current U.S. administration.

Amazon says that they are now in stock.

Amazon shows that for me as well! We have waited through this drought. Closing this issue until the next time...
