## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=GB-33488:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/GB-33488:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The HS-488HB servo is based around the popular HS-485HB but with a few noteworthy changes. To be more compatible with a wider spectrum of the servos and attachments on the market, the HS-488HB has a 25 tooth spline. This makes bulking up supporting parts much easier as you are able to stick to one spline size rather than bouncing back and forth between 24 and 25. The new spline comes with a larger servo screw that has a 2.5mm hex drive rather than a Phillips drive. The HS-488HB also has an updated potentiometer which has allowed the removal of the mechanical stops in the geartrain. Without mechanical stops you can drive the servo to the extremes in terms of range of motion without concern of contacting a mechanical stop which puts the servo in a stall situation.
