I found out that:
Replace Hitec 605BB plastic gears with the metal gears from Hitec's 615MG servo. These gears are not only stronger, but also give the servo more torque because of the gear design.
The metal gears cost about $20.00 and a whole new servo is about $80.00, quite a savings. The 615MG gear set fits right into the 605BB case with one small modification. If you plan on making this modification, then contact Hitec and have them send you the center gear shaft from the 615MG servo. This shaft is not included in the gear set and the 605BB shaft will not work. I made my own shaft from the shank of a 1/16 drill bit. I just used a Dremel tool to cut the shaft to the length I needed and it has worked fine.

Yeah......I found that info on a search.......Im not sure how old it was, but I do know I can get that servo for 39.00.
The key point of the posting was to point out that the center gear shaft in the hs 605bb will not work with the metal gear. The nylon has an "offset " which fits down over a spacer on the shaft, the metal gear does not, which is why you need to replace the center gear shaft.
