What's wrong with Karbonite gears?
Hitec do not recommend them for gassers, they suggest metal geared servos. Karbonite is strong but they can't handle the vibration. I assume the vibration hammers the gear teeth hard enough that they wear faster.

Thanks, Raven. I wasn't aware that Hitec did not recommend them. I'll go to their website and give a gander.
I used to fly 35cc and a bit larger engines with "stock" servos that came with cheap radios. Never had an issue, but that was long before the engines were producing today's power levels and the models were mostly scale or semi-scale with little control surface deflection.
