repairing some damage servos?
 

hey guys i have the airtronics 94359 and the futaba s9451 servo and both need a few repairs done to them..

heres my question
on the futaba servo the only piece broken is the plastic/delrin? piece shown here
http://cgi.ebay.com/Futaba-SERVO-GEA...item5ad54e323b the bottom right peice.

now i dont feel like spending 25 bucks to get that one thing. anyone know where i can order just the white piece?

ive checked out all my other servos (probably 10 others) and none of them fit..

second ? is where can i find the gear set for the airtronics servo? ive googled it and didnt find it. also went on ebay and they didnt have anything..

i dont feel like selling them broken cause i doubt theyd make any money and i do want one of them to work for my stamede

and while i am in the servo business......

would it just be better to buy a servo like this
http://hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store.../15.5kg/.16sec

instead of spending 25 on the gear set

over 400 ounces of torque and pretty quick responce.--unless i did the calculations wrong :neutral:

i need to place an order on hobbycity so might as well add 12 bucks to the order and get a nice servo..

thanks for any help guys

I would personally rebuild it. For $25- you have an almost new servo. I do understand the frustration of the cost for a $1- part. Same thing happened to me several times till I switched brands.

AFAIK, servo makers only sell the gears in sets, no single gears.

That HC servo is cheap, but your calculations are wrong, it is only 215oz/in (1kg/cm = 13.88 oz/in), still decent for the price.

i googled 17kg to ounces but apparently i needa google 17kg/cm to ounces?

anyways im sure your right that it is just a cheap servo.

ill be ordering the futaba gear set sometime this week.

thanks
