A ground thump or hanger bump and you may lose or crack a tooth, only to find out too late. For the smaller servos, I've gone exclusively to metal gear. They're heavier by about a tenth of an ounce, but I don't have to worry about a gear train breakage. I've had good results from the EMAX ES08MA II. The unbranded version can be had for next to nothing with a little shopping around.
Wow, great price. I'll keep an eye on them, much better than $20 a piece, I was lamenting about spending $60 on servos... Much Thanks!
