An ultra strong, high impact, composite material that is at the heart of Hitec's revolutionary new geartrain. The new KARBONITE composite gear train has eliminated lash and slop forever. They are less likely to strip under the shock and loads that would usually break standard gears.
Found in all the "HD" (Heavy-Duty) and "HB" (Heavy-Duty Ball Bearing) servos. "Karbonite" gears are four times stronger than standard nylons gears and offer virtually ZERO wear even after 250,000 when tested! The result, you get better control with Hitec�s new KARBONITE gear technology.
