The MG90S Servo is small and lightweight but boasts a high output power for its size. This is largely due to its metal gear and bearing. This makes it much more durable than other types of small servo that feature plastic gears and bearings. The durability of the MG90S Servos metal gears makes it the perfect choice for RC models such as Airplanes and also for Robotics projects. These servos can also be found in a wide variety of kits, an example of this is the MeArm Robot arm.
The servo can rotate approx. 180 degrees, 90 in each direction, and it can be driven with any standard 180 degree servo code/libraries. It can be coded using the MakeCode or Python editors which makes it ideal for novice or expert level projects. If this servo is being used with a BBC microbit then it will need a separate power supply. You may also need to level shift the PWM voltage to insure it is at the same voltage as the servos supply.
The servos are supplied with three horns and the associated fixings which should allow you to slot these servos into your projects with relative ease and without the need to make custom horns.
The MG90S metal gear servo is rated to operate between 4.8V and 6V and has a standard servo connector. The three wires are; Orange = PWM, Red = Vcc, and Brown = Ground.
Features:
- Small and compact yet high power output.
- Metal gears for strength and durability.
- Can be coded with the Microsoft MakeCode Editor.
- Suitable for RC models and Robotics projects.
- 180 degrees of rotation, 90 in each direction.
- Operating Voltage of 4.8V – 6V.

I bought several of these for a Project i am working on, and had to return them. I have found that they do not meet the MG90S in that they are a different physical size. The servos look ok, but more accurately should be described as metal geared FS90 servos. Look up the standard for these FS90MG and the MG90S and you will see the difference. I have already communicated this to Kitronic. Returning them has been a bit long-winded and a real faff. One star for poor description (and that it is still wrongly described) and the return process.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We do apologise for the time taken to arrange the refund as some of this case involved us speaking to our supplier overseas which caused a bit of a delay in getting replies from them. We however arranged for the collection of the goods on the day you requested with us and processed the refund the following day they were collected from you.
Regarding the dimensions there was a mistype which we do apologise for and this was rectified shortly after you notified us.
Regarding the description of the product we are still in discussions with our supplier around the part. This is because they and our in house technical team consider the MG90S and FS90MG to be virtually identical. Once we are satisfied with the discussion with our supplier over the coming weeks we’ll be looking at whether to change the name or if it is more appropriate to leave it.
Thanks again for taking time to leave us a review.
