This part is a 1st gear made for Mugen MRX5 models and carries the Arrowmax part number AM-MRX5-A0001. Manufactured from 7075 aluminium with a hard surface treatment, it is intended as a direct swap for the gearbox first stage after wear or damage.
Install it when you notice looseness or rounded tooth profiles in the drivetrain; fitting a new 1st gear restores precise tooth contact and helps preserve smooth power delivery through the gearbox. The gear is a single-piece component designed to work with the MRX5 transmission and the common spur and pinion arrangements used on that chassis.
On assembly, check gear mesh and backlash with the motor pinion and spur, confirm bearings are correctly located, and verify free rotation prior to closing the gearbox. Avoid over-clamping grub screws to prevent seat distortion. A light smear of gear lubricant on the face will help during the break-in period.
