    Anyone have a good US source (or reasonable international source that ships to the US) for buying 80ST-M02430 servos, drivers, and cables? I found some on aliexpress, but they were around $150 per motor for shipping with no shipping discount when ordering multiple units.

    Thanks! I'm finding some M02430 motors and some, that appear to have the same specs, called A1C02430. Any idea what the difference is? Also, do you happen to have the link of the AE store you bought from, please?

    Does anyone have any input on sourcing since the tariffs went into affect? For anything I see shipping out of China there is a 100% tariff. Scouring for domestic sellers on eBay you're in the $350-400 range for servo and driver. With these prices, I was contemplating a closed loop stepper motor which looks like it could be a cost save and sourcing looks a little easier but seems like mixed reviews on how they would preform. In the early stages of planning out a linear actuator with an inline motor (ie. peacemaker-esque).

    I know a friend who offers a way that doesn't require additional tariffs.
