Hitec HS-311 gears [off topic]

Sorry to post another off-topic message but I couldn't find anything about
getting gears for the Hitec HS-311 servo. I know they are cheap servos but I
already have one mounted and a couple of gears had the teeth busted off. Does
anybody know of any places or advice.

    Are you familiar with Google (www.google.com)? It's a great search
    engine -- I use it several times a day. Reading up on how to do
    advanced searches is worthwhile. I entered the text on the line below:

    +hitec +"HS-311" +gear

    ... and Google returned 11 pages of matches. There's got to be an
    answer in there somewhere.

    Okay, now you have no more reason to post off topic.

    I usually go to my local RC model airplane hobby shop (or RC car's too).
    They usually have servo gear sets for repairing servos that have had
    gears stripped out for various reasons.
    Another source for such things is www.servocity.com or
    www.towerhobbies.com
    But HS311's are Hitec's low cost servos, so the replacement gears
    usually cost half to almost the price of a new servo.
    I tried a search on "Hitec gears" or "HS-311" at Tower Hobbies but they
    don't seem to have a gear set directly for "HS-311" servos.
    ServoCity does show they have replacement gear sets for HS-311 servos
    though.

    Thanks Earl, I have searched google for a while but I never tried the advanced
    search.
