I started thinking abt your payment.. I should refund your shipping amt and just meet up halfway to handoff the servos.. Whats prob easier, since you arrre a lot closer to Franks than I am, you can pick up your own servos and save the shipping cost.. lemme know what u wanna do..

The official spec for serial cables is 75', maybe you can get 100' with a high quality cable.
If you want long cables then its DMX you need, with up to 1000' cable lengths.
Before you go out and buy your SSC's take a close look at the SkullTroniX BoC, we used to run with the Parallax Board because it was cheap, but frankly we found it too damned expensive in the long run, servo burnouts were a constant issue as were port conflicts in VSA. consequently we went and developed our own servo controller which has eliminated servo burnout, Plus you get the RGB eyes that are unique to the SkullTroniX Skull.... and if that's not enough you can get direct support on this very forum.
