How much is an acceptable amount of play in the output shafts of these servos? Not gear backlash but up and down movement of the shaft. I had some 1-2 mm in 3 of 4 servos I had. I'm also seeing this in my 9253 as well.

I have taken them apart and bumped up the bushing on the lower side of the output shaft to help. But I fear it will return.

Can you replace the bushing with the same size BB that is on the top of the output shaft?? Making it a dual BB servo..

Speaking solely from personal experience, I would be concerned about a servo with 1mm or more. Looking at a broad assortment of used servos in my shop, none have more than 1/2 mm.

Technically, I'll as the service team in the morning and get back to you.

Thanks Ann for the prompt reply. I read posts by others that say they use these servos for a number of months without any problems but these have only been flown about a month (3 gallons) in my Raptor 30.

Per our supervisor of the service center technicians, who is our top technician:

The 1mm of up and down play is normal, especially in the lower end line of servos. If the customer is having more than that, he should consider replacement/repair.
