Hi, I purchased a second hand OTOP 2M ship that has JR DS8411 servos, the standard version with the metal gears. Do the DS8411SA nylon gear set fit in the standard 8411 servo? I have received conflicting information, and would like to know if anyone has installed the SA nylon gear set in the standard 8411 servo. If they do fit any suggestions on when I should change out the existing metal gears with the nylon ones. There is no noticable slop in the present gears, but the general consensus appears to be that nylon are better for pattern ships.

The gears will interchange. The reason pattern fliers prefer nylon gears is they have less slop
and stay tighter longer. The metal gears get loose after flying awhile especially with a hard
banging 4 stroke. The nylon is slightly lighter also.

Don't change out the metal gear that the servo arm fits on. It's not necessary and it's a pain to do.
