Please urgent help is needed...
Thank you in advance
 

Servo motors are designed for applications involving stationary position, not rotation continues.
If you want to use this way, engine modifications are required.

A stepper motor may be a better solution.

Here is one example of a continuous rotating servo:

**broken link removed**

They are easy to control with pulse width and provide forward, reverse, and stop. So, the answer to your original question is "yes." That is one application robot builders use them for. May servos can be modified by removing the physical stop for the gear train (if there is one) and putting a fixed resistor in place of the feedback potentiometer.
