Performance 1st Gear for MTX-4

This hardened aluminium 16T first gear is intended as a robust replacement for the MTX-4 first gear. It delivers repeatable engagement under load and is supplied for model-only use on the MTX-4 platform.

Service-level installation is required: remove the gearbox cover, install the 16T unit, inspect adjacent bearings and verify spur/pinion alignment, then set and validate correct mesh before final assembly. Monitor mesh and bearing condition during the initial test runs to confirm even seating.

From a setup perspective, the metal first gear reduces variability in engagement, aiding consistent adjustments to mesh, preload, and drivetrain diagnostics. It is written for competitive builders wanting a dependable metal 1st gear option for MTX-4 maintenance and race prep.

What checks should be done when fitting this gear?

Check bearing endplay, confirm spur and pinion axial alignment, set a consistent mesh, and verify smooth free rotation before closing the gearbox.

Will a metal first gear affect drivetrain noise?

A properly meshed metal gear can reduce occasional compliance noise from worn plastic gears, but correct mesh and bearing condition are essential to avoid new noise sources.

Do I need to alter maintenance intervals?

Continue regular gearbox inspections; metal gears are durable but bearings and mesh still require periodic checks to maintain performance.
