This aluminum idler gear post secures the MD3.0 counter gear inside RC drivetrains. It acts as a locating support to keep the counter gear positioned relative to the spur and pinion, helping maintain steady mesh during normal operation.
Fitment is listed for the MDR-030 chassis and the component is intended as a direct spare or upgrade for builds using the MD3.0 counter gear. The original note lists the gear attachment part as ?5mm and a length of 10mm as provided in source details.
For installation, place the post into the original idler location on the MDR-030 layout; no chassis alterations should be necessary if the dimensions correspond. After refitting, manually rotate the drivetrain to confirm correct mesh before powering the motor.
Performance note: replacing a softer post with an aluminum unit reduces mounting flex and helps keep consistent engagement between counter gear and mating gears during tuning and everyday club driving.
