Hi Dave, we will have the 9157 in stock around December 31.

Basic specs: 425 oz-in @ 6v, Speed .14 @ 6 v.

New gear train and it now has six screws holding the case together.

Will the gear train work in the 9156, and is it any better? I have 9156's on my elevators and the gears actually wore out quicker than the 8711 on the rudder. I like the power of the 9156's but the gear train is not so good.
