Radio - Servo - Gyro - Gov - Batt > Metal 9451/9251 Servo Gears - costly to fix

I've been enjoying my Futaba 9451 servos, but recently broke a gear. "How" you say? Yes there are metal gears in these servos, but the second gear is thin plastic.

While the gears are strong in flight, you still may experience a potential servo gear breakage in a crash. Best advice: don't crash. A full gear set for the 9451 servo is $25! That comes with three metal gears, a ball bearing, and the one little thin plastic gear. What to do?

I found 9251 servo gears are the same as the 9451, and you get get five full plastic gear sets for just $11.50 here:


That is a better deal than $25 for one plastic gear and the other gears you may not need.

If memory serves me correct. I think that Ron Lunds sells gears seperate.

That's really good to know Sam. I fly 9451's and I'd be devastated if I had to fix one at that cost!!

You can buy just the plastic gear, should be 2 dollars or less.

9451 plastic gears

Just an FYI the part number listed at the top of this post will not work in 9451's. They will work in the 9256's. I did find however that the plastic gear in the 9451 is the same as the first gear in the 9252's. On the gear it says "9151 1st gear" so you may be able to just purchase that gear seperately but it is not the same as the 9251/9256 as stated at the beginning of this post.
