That's why I wouldn't move it very often, nor far, most of the time.
The load against which it'd move would be close to zero.

Any idea of the current draw if the position isn't changing?
That's the sort of information I'm looking for.

Except the environment (solar car) isn't very friendly to it; and
it's almost nominal operating conditions for the servo.
