Hey Guys,
I ordered Steez 103HA gear and pinion for my Type R+, not realizing the Steez main gear does not have holes in it to accept the small plastic gear from the Type R+ that sits underneath it. Can anyone advise if the small metal gear from the 103HA (key #78) has straight edges on the inside hole? It cannot just be circular, it needs to lock into the drive shaft.
Or, if I am totally off, can anyone advise what other parts I need, OR if I need to get the gear and pinion from ANOTHER model of Steez altogether?

I was mistaken on the small metal gear from the Steez (G75-6101). I thought it needed the flat spots on the inside hole to pair with the drive shaft. But there are two compatibility issues: it is both way too big for the TD-Z drive shaft, and the TD-Z drive shaft does not have corresponding flat edges to accept it.
This in turn means the only way to adapt the drive gear, pinion, and idle gear from the Steez 103HA into a TD-Z is to also do a drive shaft swap. I am optimistic that this could work.
Can anyone confirm or deny? Can anyone open up an older Steez and post some photos of the drive shaft? I need to see the 103HA drive shaft to compare.
