SERVOS - AGAIN
Roger in France:
The last thread on servos threw up much of interest, so let us try this one.....
What experience/comparison can people make between servos with metal or nylon gears?
Roger in France.
cbr900:
Nylon gears for general use without to much load will perform perfectly for many years, the metal geared servo should give a more precise return to neutral and will take much bigger loads consistently, also they are less prone to stripping if given a sudden impact, so metal digital is the best you can get...

Ball bearinged servos will take more load smoothly and not wear as quickly as the bushed servos.
But saying that I have not worn out a servo yet, and usually use the cheap Futaba, Nylon Gears and bushed?

On most model boats, the servos wont be under much stress (not talking sailwinches here!). So, I think nylon \ plastic gears would stand the test especially if from the likes of futaba.
Metal geared servos are really only for high stress such as heli's or other big model planes.
Mankster:
Metal gears are stronger than plastic and won't strip like plastic, but they wear out quicker (plastic to plastic gives less wear than metal to metal). There is no other differance.
