That's a helluva deal considering the cost of the whole servo.
Nice find.

I am not getting my hopes up.
I find these gears all the time and end up on some backlog.
If they show up I'll probably order ten more sets ;D

Awesome thanks for sharing......I decided to look at what else they might have. I.E. heli kits ......seems like they are high example 499.95 for Trex 450 SE......I bought same kit for 249.95. Granted it seems like I got a great deal.....but I went back to the place where I bought my kit and regular price is 349.95. I'm not knocking your find.....I was just was hoping they had other deals! You know....  It's no different with these Etailers you have to watch what you buy, where you buy, and when you buy it!!! Great job Mc! |

The one for $500 there comes with Align motor,ESC and aluminum case but that is still way too much.That's knocking on the door of a Trex 450 Pro.
These guys did call me today.I figured it was to put me on backorder but they needed money for shipping.lol...
They suck to me already.There was no shipping options even offered when I paid online.It just says $0 for special shipping arrangments.
They are the only ones in the world with these parts right now so,hey,what ya gonna do???

Does sound a little sketchy, I hope they come through for you.

Some of their deals look good, I hope they don't hose you on delivery.

They did call me back.
They had sent me an email with shipping options but I had typed my email addy in wrong so I didn't get it.
He let me know that they are packaged and shipping today.
Not too shabby.
Their prices are still kinda high though.

Got my fingers crossed.lol...
I have looked everywhere before and since and just can't find these gears in stock ANYWHERE!!!!
I have six Align DS510's.Two are wrecked.These new gears will give me six good servos and three spare sets of gears.This should last forever.
I hope the gears are for real.

Got them today.They are real Align gears and they work GREAT!!!! Super easy to change and they work. In both servos,only one gear was stripped but it was stripped clean.It is the larger "Top Hat" gear in contact with the black carbonite main gear. I went ahead and changed all the gears and bearings anyway. Awesome stuff.The dealer must know international dealings leave a bad taste in my mouth because he included a pack of Cherry-Strawberry Mentos.lol...I ain't makin' that up. They're good too ;D   |
