As long as you don't run off the limits of the feedback pot. A JR digital servo I have runs off the pot before the physical limits. This is becuse JR does not use a D key on the pot shaft. Since it's digital, they assembled the servo without making sure the pot was centered and then they 'teach' the servo where center is. With the pot off center, in one direction the full movement allows the pot to run off the end. The servo then tries to run 360 degrees. The metal gears were stronger than the mechanical stop and it was broken off. On this servo this happens at .89ms.
