Default 7985 for steering on buggy?????

I am building a E-1/8th buggy and was kinda on a buget and I got this servo for the steering, usually I want full metal gears for steering but had to get what I could. Will this be okay, and if i strip the 1 non metal gear is there a metal 1 i can get to make it a full metal gear servo?

Hello Malik,
All of our servos have a nylon/composite gear in the gear train. You will actually see all the manufacturers will have this type of set-up. This eliminates the metal to metal electrical noise from reaching the motor on the servo and causing glitching. There is not a metal gear replacement for it. I think you will like the servo for your application.

My 5955 has no plastic carbon what ever gear in it. But thanks though.

I do work for Hitec, and all of our servos will have one non metal gear. The gear closest to the motor is our MK gear. (metal-karbonite)metal pinion, karbonite outer gear.
