I bought this servo a while back and it has done me good till now. I am using it for my steering duties in a TM G4+ but now it seems to have a heap of slop in the gear train. When it's all installed my front wheels are real loose and now the car doesn't track right. It's had the "normal" impacts while racing but nothing major. What i'm wondering is is it still covered under warranty even if i can't find the receipt?

It sounds like your gears are just worn out fron use. This would not be a warranty issue as gear sets are available through your local hobby shops. p/n #55303 - 645/ 5645mg gear set

the gear on 5645 is not really good, this is same gear in 645, it's not a metal gear, it's just a brass material, i have 3 of those which is all strip, that why it's sitting in my tool box. If you used this in the steering and when you hit something hard they can easily strip the gear, thats why i dont like this servo, and i heard that they have an upgrade gear, a titanium gear, but i dont know how much is it, so that's why im using the 5995tg version instead...

i beleive the gear is arround $12- $16.00 a set.

When did brass become classified as "non-metal"?
The gears are a combination of steel and brass and do wear over time. If you are concerned about that then you should look at using our titanium geared servo (7955tg) as there won't be any wear issues with those.
