What servo?
Replacing the gears can be VERY cost effective. I've dont it a couple of times and it is a rather quick job too!
Yes, depending on the servo, you can not only replace the plastic gears with metal, but HiTec also makes Karbonite gears. Tough as nails. Some other things to consider while in there would be to replace any bushings with bearrings. Just make sure you get a good deal on the bearrings if you do it. Some place just charge way too much.
