| Why the heck would anyone put plastic gears in any sort of equipment- especially something that, when the gears wear, could cause other issues? Cost, obviously, but still not a good plan. I hate the "WalMart" think of many people and companies... |

haha. chevrolet too.
when my 1972 chevy truck threw the timing chain at 155000 miles (i still have the truck) the chain jumped a few teeth then sheered off several teeth on the timing gear.
GM made the teeth on the gears out of nylon.
it was SUPPOSED to be "QUIETER". |

| Not apples to apples, but in the servos I use for R/C helicopters metal to metal gears develop more slop over a period of time than plastic gears. Additionally, plastic gears are sometimes preferable because they can break...being as how the plastic gear may fail and prevent some more expensive piece from breaking. |

Yeah, gears are easy to come by for servos, so price is the dominant factor. Time (as well as aggravation) IS money, so if its a PITA to replace then replacement costs could take a back seat. |
