<div>Bob,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>You can nearly eliminate the last little bit of slop from the
8411/8417/9411's by changing the final output gear to nylon (beware,
it's very difficult to remove the recessed lower bearing on the
9411). It's also a bit lighter when you're done. I've
found no drawback to the conversion, in fact I wish the SA's came
stock this way.</div>

<div>Thx, Jerry</div>

fine.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote><font face="Arial" size="-1">Today, I did the conversion
of a metal-gear 8411 to the SA version....only left the metal OUTPUT
gear in place, replacing all the others. It sure seems smooth,
slop-free, tight, and powerful.</font></blockquote>

heard about this (leaving the metal output gear installed) from Troy

over the long haul? Any downside effects of leaving the output
metal?</font></blockquote>
