does anyone know where to find gears for a Bluebird servo? i need the black one that connects to the motor gear

AdamF · 07-03-2005, 12:17 PM

This'n?

EeePee · 07-03-2005, 12:22 PM

That looks VERY similar to the HiTec or Futaba gears I have.

Wonder if they'll fit?

AdamF · 07-03-2005, 12:39 PM

Nope, hitec gears have smaller teeth. (ive got a set of those too)

EeePee · 07-03-2005, 12:40 PM

I'll check if the Futaba is the same as the HiTec...

badtodabone · 07-03-2005, 12:47 PM

EeePee · 07-03-2005, 01:05 PM

Thanks BTDB... doubt i will get them in time though :?

Adam, its the bottom gear that is underneath the middle brass colored one

AdamF · 07-03-2005, 08:15 PM

Yea, I got a few of those

badtodabone · 07-04-2005, 02:39 PM

the bluebird first gears aare ****ty plastic ones. I stripped 2 of them in one battery pack. Thats why I switched to Hitec.

TwistedCreations · 07-04-2005, 03:16 PM

yeah it's on a buddys' truck I built and we decided to try them out anyway. I won't put them on my current buildup.I will be going with the Airtronics 200oz. servos

I got a gear from Adam this mornin( thanks adam) and still am not sure about these things. i don't trust metal gears and plastic together. owell, ya get what ya pay for

AdamF · 07-04-2005, 10:11 PM

And as we discovered, on Jeremy's servo, the large plastic gear on his was black with another plastic gear molded to the top. On my servo, the large gear is white plastic, but the smaller gear on top is made of brass. On Jeremy's servo, the smaller plastic gear on top had stripped, and the one I gave him is brass, so maybe that will last longer.

When did you get that bluebird? Before or after I did?

Rufies97XJ · 07-05-2005, 07:48 AM

I bought the servo a month or two ago.

I lend the guy my truck for a few days and he goes and strips out gears..

geesh.. better him then me.. cause I would have just bought a new one..lmao.

silvr_tung_devl · 07-05-2005, 09:39 AM

I just put my LAST Bluebird on my tlt for Portland....seems that I'll go through it about as fast as I did the first one...after that, no more...they're not worth the headache

if any of ya need the junk ones for parts...let me know...chances are you've junked the same gear in yours as I did mine!!!!!!!

badtodabone · 07-05-2005, 10:21 AM

yea now all the first gears are black plastic that strips as easy as a stripper at a rich mans party

Artstu · 07-05-2005, 05:34 PM

i could use the junk 1s i always need more crap to work on!!

I B RACIN · 07-05-2005, 09:25 PM

The Airtronics 358s 200oz.

Also have one plastic gear.

I B..

TwistedCreations · 07-05-2005, 09:31 PM

ohh, glad ya told me that.. i was about to buy the 358's but JIA talked me into the 359's...then that reply just pushed me towards them... so looks like i'm gonna buy 2 servos and blow $300

doug- someone has to run the truck, we know you never do

I'm still liery(sp?) about the servo.. still don't seem right, but it turns the tires though..the jack the price up on the BB servos and then change to a crappy gear..

owell, it was worth a shot, guess ya get what ya pay for

I B RACIN · 07-05-2005, 09:39 PM

Thats a good choice.

I have Bluebirds in my truck now, and when they go that will be the last of them for me, The hitechs will replace them. 444oz@ 7.2 volts
