Steve Tyng posted about this a few years ago: Here's an interesting article on modifying a standard servo to drive an external gearmotor. Basically the geartrain is removed from the servo which is then used as a position sensor for the gearmotor. The servo electronics are used to drive an offboard h-bridge.
http://www.fieroaddiction.com/servo.html An h-bridge that would work well with this setup (the Tecel D200 referenced doesn't appear to be available anymore). http://www.robotpower.com/products/simple-h_info.html I've always wanted to give this a try but haven't had an opportunity. Neat idea though.
