It is these:

But the Google says that either they may not fit very well, or the ratio is different and it slows the servo down so I am not sure it is money well spent...

Anyone have any suggestions here - I have been running a Futaba 9650 servo and I chunked a tooth. It isn't affecting the operation but I know it is on its way out. Does Futaba have a metal gear equivalent to this servo? Their website isn't very good for researching this sort of thing. I really want to stick with using the surface mount ear style servo and the only other one I know of that mounts this way are the Airtronics which are too small to fit my chassis without having to redrill holes.

9650 servos with metal gear update is popular with the 500 heli crowd. they use mks 9660 gears that were a drop in.

Does anyone have a current source for the 9660 gear set?

I had a medium/large on mine. I have a small on it now but the damage was already done. What I did do however was flipped the 2 damaged gears 180 out and it seems to not be hitting that notch anymore. I still plan to get another set of gears and see what happens.

set screws for the spring holders so you can get them to touch the chassis.
It might be helpful to look at the build directions for the 12R5 go to the
teamassociated web site and download the 12R5.2 pdf

I have them mounted on the inward holes. I wonder if they should be mounted on the outward holes so the make contact with the top of side pod links instead of chassis. That would make up all that extra space.
There is not much adjustment I could make with the set screw, I have them screwed almost all the way down but I still have about a quarter of an inch space

In a perfect world you would position all of your electronics so that the car balances out and the tweak is right with no side springs on the car at all. Then run your springs so that they are barely touching at all.
