hi
going to get some of the hitec hs65 servos for my t-rex which are best the metal gear ones or the karbonite?would the metal gear ones be more robust?thanks

[leeadam]

go carbonite...and in fact if u check classifieds....i have 2 brand new ones for sale.

Without wanting to stir up a hornets nest, go metal. I had some carbonite geared 56's, the new ones may be strong but very brittle so after every crash you'll be replacing a gear set.

Tis true but I have had three crashes with my trex. One killed a gear set and the other two didn't. Still, the gear set is only about two quid so it's not all bad.

actually i trashed the gear on a HS56 how on earth do u get the bearing off the main gear to put onto new replacement gear. i broke the little bearing in the end and had to buy new servo its was locked on i tried prising up pulling off everything..maybe i had a well stuck one????????

I normally pry them off with a very small screwdriver if you take your time it's quite simple, mind you I've had a bit of practice

Patience and a small screwdriver.

You need to get it off the shaft 'square' if you see what I mean.

i dont get u?? the square shaft?

[Leebert]

The bearing needs to be slid off the shaft as straight as possible. If you try and lever off one side of the bearing at a time it tends to stick on the shaft.

Gently prise the bearing with a small screwdriver a little at a time, working round and round the bearing.

sorry yes i see what u mean..i did try pulling straight..oh well..next time ill give it a go working way round it.
thanks
