I thought I had a metal geared servo in my short course, however when checked it last night realised it was actually plastic!

The servo has survived 3 practice sessions and one race day, so stripping doesn't seem to be a problem (yet) but was wondering if metal gears would make the overall performance better?
A metal gear servo isn't going to be any faster. The main benefit is strength.

If you aren't stripping the plastic gears in your current application - great!
