    Saturday's bashing at Over-the-Hill resulted in a broken servo. That's the bad news.
    The good news is... I get to buy a new servo!

    More good news... I have a new stock TRA2075 comming this week.  Or is it?
    Those little plastic gears are just asking to be chewed up and spit out.

    So... This is what I've found as a possible alternative.
    Hitec HA-5625mg Digital High Speed Metal Gear Servo
    It fits my budget, but beyond that, I don't know squat about servos.

    Input would be appreciated.

    Smitty - you had the "/" at the end ([ url/ ]) instead of the beginning ([ /url ]) of the close tag.

    hey smitty,i would say the jr z650 mg servo would be perfect for a light truck like yours.it packs 142 oz.torque @6v,and they are fairly cheap online. :)

    Smitty, I use Hitec servos in several of my planes. Digital, metal gear is the way to go. These are the go-to servos for many of the pilots I fly with because of their availability and price. Can't go wrong :D

    Thanks you guys for the suggestions.
    I'm considering your input as well as some others.
    In the mean time I'm installing a new set of gears in the TRA2075.
