Yes, but the great thing about those multi-turn servos is that they provide
position feedback. I was planning to try one as a turret rotator using a
light weight timing belt configuration to gear it down by about 3:1. I want
to make sure there's some slip in case somebody (Steve !) rams my marker
barrel.

Hmmm ... last time I checked, that's exactly what a geared motor will
do. Throw two inexpensive switches on a servo (aka. MAG Speed Control)
and wire them to an inexpensive geared motor and you have a far more
powerful solution.
