This small RC component is listed as a general helicopter part by Hirobo and is intended to provide a fixed spacing or locating function on rotating shafts and associated linkages.
When fitted the collar maintains axial position and reduces side-to-side movement, helping to keep blade grips, hubs and bearings running true without changing the model's handling when correctly set.
Installation is a basic hobby task: slide the collar onto the shaft to the chosen position, seat it against the adjacent bearing or hub, and secure with the existing set screw or retention method supplied by the assembly. Confirm free rotation once installed.
Carry out routine checks after operating: ensure the collar stays in place, inspect contact surfaces for signs of wear, and replace the part if it shows deformation or excess play to protect predictable performance.
