slightly for each kit. 
SPG785A-5.0 Power Gearbox 
The SPG785A-5.0 Servo Power Tube Gearbox is built to use a stock HS-
785HB servo which, unmodified, can provide 1260 degrees of total rotation 
(version shown includes optional nylon/metal gears). When the HS-785HB 
servo is installed into the 5:1 power gearbox, the rotation is decreased by a 
factor of 5, providing 252 degrees at the final output shaft. Similarly, the 
power and accuracy is increased by a factor of 5. Position feedback 
remains since the internal potentiometer is not removed. The SPG785A-
5.0 can handle tremendous side loads with the dual ABEC-5 precision ball bearing supported 
hardened 3/8” stainless steel hollow shaft. The shaft is hollow to allow wires from cameras, 
sensors or other devices to not tangle during multi-turn rotations. The frame of the SPG785A-
4.5 is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum (anodized) and offers a standard hub pattern inline 
with the output shaft.
