<DIV>Yup, the servo is brand new right out of the package. When I spoke to the Airtronics guy he actually suggested the JR arms. He said that some people liked them a lot and that some didn't. I guess that speaks to Eric's point. I guess it just depends on which end of the tolerance spectrum you are on. I am afraid to use one with any slop as I can imagine that play getting worse and worse with time. We are not talking about a ton, but it is noticible when you gently turn the servo (without the screw in it), that there is a little play in there. I guess I could always glue the arm on.</DIV>

<DIV>Just kidding, I could almost hear the collective gasp.</DIV>

<DIV>The JR aluminum arm fit to the metal output shaft Airtronics servo is very good, but for some reason the fit to the plastic output gear is just a little sloppy. It should be a relatively tight fit, but it will slide on and off pretty easily.<BR><BR><B><I>"Atwood, Mark" <atwoodm@paragon-inc.com></I></B> wrote:

<DIV><SPAN class=748185113-09022004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm afraid then that you wouldn't be pleased with the fit of the JR Aluminum wheels on JR servo's either. The splines are virtually identical I beleive. I've used both wheels interchangably for a while with good success. I don't think you'll find anyone making a dedicated wheel for Airtronics...and if they did, they'd label it for Airtronics/JR anyway...lol</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>Does anyone know of a source of aluminum servo arms made specifically for Airtronics servos? The best I could find were the heavy duty plastic with aluminum hub reinforcement, and an RC car set that is aluminum, but with plastic inserts to fit different brands of servos.</P>
<P>I have already called Central, Radio South, Tower, and Airtronics. I am not pleased with the fit of the JR aluminum wheels to Airtronics.</P>
<P>TIA</P>
