It's a link to the Lynxmotion site where it descibes how to convert a servo to continuous rotation. The circuitboard is left in the servo and still controls the motor but because the stops have been removed, it continuously rotates in the one direction. I've used it in several of my beasts and they can be controlled by normal radio control units or maybe the Bug.
We ended up taking it off the Samtech, it was too dicey to be drawing power like that right from the connector, we actually tried to rework it to put it through the von Hippel over serial.

It rolls! http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlegreenfroggy/4035825740/
an easy way to mobilise the bug and have control of direction would be to use a differential drive system as per

using 2 modified servos on a circular base would give you a way of letting her go exploring.
when will the fun ever stop???? heh heh

I'm new so if this has been posted before, then sorry but, it is a great way to make a very reliable and strong controlable geared motor. http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/html/smodh2.htm

I hope to see this in the catalog soon! These wheels are sure to become a staple item. Is there an estimated timeline?
Hey Madison,
