Yeah I've stripped the gears in two of the HS-81's. One got stripped in a crash, and the other was actually when I was moving the swashplate up/down by hand, guess I moved it too fast [:-]. At least the gears are cheap and easy to replace.
Even if I don't go MG, I would like to at least upgrade to Ball Bearing servos because I've noticed there seems to be quite a bit of play between the output shaft and case/bushing on my HS-81's.
I wonder if the HS-81's can be upgraded to BB? That would probably the ideal thing to do since the MG servo's apparently will strip out as well. I'm gonna open one up tonight and see if I can get a measurement on the bushing, maybe I can find some bearings that are the same size.
unless you're sure you can avoid crashing alltogether
Me, avoid crashing? LOL
