The Factory Pro FP-O-AP0006 main idle gear is a 28T replacement made to fit O-AP0004 and Tamiya T3-01 gear trains on 1/10 scale models. It acts as the idle gear that holds the spur in correct mesh when the motor is not directly turning the spur.
Manufactured with a precision tooth profile, this component is suitable for scheduled maintenance and part replacement. When installing, inspect the spur and bearings for wear, check axial alignment, and adjust shims and mesh so the gear turns freely without binding.
In tuning terms the idle gear can change drivetrain neutral feeling and coast noise, so include backlash and bearing checks in your setup routine. This part is intended as a direct replacement for idle gears compatible with O-AP0004 mounting on the T3-01 layout.
