Hello I have a lauterbacher billet case for the hitec 5765 servo. It comes supposedly with two nylon washers to put between the upper case and the gears to avoid rubbing, I have lost them. Is it a big problem or can I run the servo that way? it has been working fine for several months. I put a dab of servo grease on the upper case boss to avoid rubbing...

"Not Hitec parts, suggest you refer to the instruction sheet which will most likely show those nylon washers
to be required packers.
Servo Grease alone will allow movement/slop which in turn could lead to early burn out..
Please refer back to the manufacturer or place of purchase for correct washer measurements
This as Hitec RCD cannot assure compatibility with non-Hitec equipment.
There's just too much of it out there for them to be able to test.
It's also not their responsibility to insure such compatibility.
The maker of the non-Hitec equipment must make sure their items are compatible
- if they are making such a claim.
Many times, non-Hitec equipment is used with Hitec equipment even when no claims of compatibility
are made by the maker of the non-Hitec equipment, yet the modeler expects universal compatibility.

One washer fits on each of the two shafts that sticks into the top case. They go between the top gears and the case. To keep the gears from moving and rubbing on the case.

"I contacted DDM and seems that the nylon washers are no longer included with the billet case, so I gess they were not needed. "
