Default RE: Stripped Servo??

ORIGINAL: Dr1Driver

That works for me, Fastsky, if the servo is inexpensive (148, 3003, etc.). If it's a hi dollar unit, replacement gears are cheaper. Besides, let him replace a gear set once. He'll learn more about how his swervos work an how they get so much torque from such a small motor.

so like increased mechanical advantage due to the different radii of the gears? u could just explain it and not make him tear his servo apart... especialy if uve never doen it before, its very irritating to try and get all the gears back together.


also if u can find metal gears (there more expensive...) but they are much more resistant to sripping than nylon. i prefer using metal gears on my servos, its just a mater ofpreference thoguh
