I'm trying to fix the "stalled" servo-arm problem by replacing the case for my Hitec 5245MG servo. I wonder if the one below (from helidirect) is the right one that I should buy? The description does not list it for 5245MG repair while readyheli does for that same product code. Should I just go ahead and purchase it?

Same product code, but at Readyheli:

Thanks

Hello - I have just replaced my one servo with the parts you have listed in the ReadiHeli link above. All 100%.

Thanks, Greg. I've just placed my order. Seems like the 5245MG got pretty tough gears, that's why the case's gear-holder has to give

. I'm ok with that, since it's cheaper & easier to replace the top case.

I've had good luck with the gears and only wounded one top case. There's a gear shaft that gets held by the top case and the dimple it sits in is easily blown out.

I remember seeing a post here a while back about someone adding a longer shaft and drilling through the top case to beef it up. I also recall seeing where the 5245 had a design change early in its life to address a possible case issue. The cases I've got as replacements look identical, so I don't know what they changed.

56342 is the correct part number.

Replacing the top case is not stress at all and I really dont mind that popping instead of the gears. When u crash, something has to give and it means replacing a tupper ware lid each time...I am in for the weaker cases.
