remember that the reason you left the metal output shaft in place is
that you can't get the bearing out of the bottom of the gear. Does the 9411
SA version come with a plastic output shaft? It is not shown on the
Horizon site.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On one servo I replaced all but the motor gear
with the returned metal gears and ,like Troy says, it was somewhat difficult
replacing the servo arm gear and, Jerry, everything "feels" ok. The two
smaller intermediate gears had missing outer teeth. The other servo I
replaced all but the motor and servo arm gears with the returned metal gears
and , Jerry, it feels super . The inner gear on one of the intermediate
gears was missing a tooth or two. It seems to me this is the logical way to
go on future conversions and I believe this is what Troy said.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nat,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The conversion is to leave the metal output
gear in place. So the gear that the servo wheel attaches too is still
metal all other gears are nylon. And the standard servo comes with a Nylon
gear off the motor already and this gear is left in place.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been running these servos converted
for 2+ years now and I have tons of flights on them...We are talking over
2000 flights on these servos converts....Lots of snaps and lots of
abuse.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have never had a gear strip in the
setup....Servo pots wear but not a gear go bad...I don't think you can
convert the output gear easily to nylon because of the way it is attached
to the pot and the bearing. I'm sure you can get the bearing off the shaft
on the output gear and then it might work out..I also will add a little
white grease like the servos use...Also in a pinch I have used
petroleum jelly too....Probably not the best choice but it
worked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question is what gear(s)
stripped?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am very curious as I have had nothing but
superb luck with this setup. My opinion this is the absolute best aileron
servo setup I have ever used. They are fast strong and light just over
1.25oz each.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had two DS9411's coverted to SA . A gear
