BB servo convertions
Does anyone know anything about EMS ball bearing servo convertion kits for Futaba servos? It seems to be just the cast top half with a BB for the output shaft. Are they worth $6.00 a pop?
Thanks guys

bb conversions
I also use the conversions for my 148s and now run the servos in my hawk 3 heli.The servos will last longer and run smoother with the bb well worth the money.

BB servo convertions
Ditto on the 148 conversions
I have many old 148s that have new life thanks to the BB conversion. After a lot of use you will notice you can wiggle the output shaft fore/aft or left/right due to wear. The BB conversions took all the slop out and take about 1 minute of bench time to install.
Tower sells the EMS conversion for $20 per set of 4.
Still cheaper than ordering a servo of 148 quality with BB.

JR servos
JWN: I just cleaned the pot for a JR507....works like new. I had a 505 and was going to see if I could do the same. It did not look like the pot comes apart ? The motor was a stinker to get out too. How do you like the 507 servos? Any certain JR your favorite? Thanks John
