repairing some damage servos? - 01.08.2010, 02:41 PM

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

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.


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S

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.
