+1 I agreeI would just replace it, not really worth it to fix.
What's the age of the servo? Just out of curiosity?Is this servo fixable or do I need to buy another one?

3 months but lots of bashing sessions and I'm a newbie.What's the age of the servo? Just out of curiosity?
You must have gotten a bad one.Lucky you to make it 3 months , I put the same servo in my Talion and it didn't even make it thru 1 battery pack !!!
I got 2 bad ones. First one developed a dead spot after a few runs and the second one died on the first or second pack through it.You must have gotten a bad one.
Do you run it on 6v or 7.4v?

Really?!!! I thought 3 months were bad!Lucky you to make it 3 months , I put the same servo in my Talion and it didn't even make it thru 1 battery pack !!!
I have the HD spring in mine , maybe that’s a bad thing!For the gears to break the servo saver must have been locked. I have yet to beak any gears on mine. I did have one go bad after a rather hard hit, it wouldn't move smooth but studderd. 1 year and many many packs on 3 total.
Good idea! I’ll try it! I got 3 shims on my servo saver, I’ll remove one.That happened to one of my 25kg servos, i just put that gear back in flipped 180 degrees. Still running it, but got a backup waiting.
Sorry it is Junk now. How much use have you got from it???Is this servo fixable or do I need to buy another one?

I still don't understand how I have such bad luck with the 3235SGs. I want to try another one but Idk if shouldSorry it is Junk now. How much use have you got from it???
Gear sets aren't really available. You could always try contacting the sellers. I feel they have great Cust service, considering it is from China. But the gear set may not be available separately. . The beauty of this is that they are cheap enough to replace and move on. Buy another DS3235, without hesitation.
I would. Perhaps Post the Pix on AMZ and see what the seller says.
Take the new one apart and make sure grease is on all the teeth of all the gears. But it doesn't look like lack thereof was your issue. Your Servo Saver looks to be too tight???? IDK. Check it. Make sure ST endpoints were/are correct?? Or maybe it was just some bad carnage/user error. Normal.
Servo's are consumable items anyway. Bashing Hard etc.
I would be crying more so, if it was an expensive servo.
Wow, I've done this to other servos. Just not with any of my 8 DS3235's. I would also remove the Upper BB O-ring altogether that is between the upper case and upper BB. The OutPut gear ( that stripped) will rotate much smoother. The O-ring just locks up the Upper BB once all is assembled tight. Lube the BB with a drop of oil or some grease, before closing it up.
8 of these servos over 2 years old and Bashed hard in all 8 rigs and all are still going strong. I always take mine apart when new. I also test them on a servo tester out the box first, any servo.. I always remove that upper O-ring. I may on occasion place that o-ring over the splined shaft before installing the Horn/Arm.
Crap happens.
