WTB 5mm Counterbearing for 500SE
Even though I don't plan on any 3D for a long time, I too am spooked at how close the pinion is to the battery, and the counterbearing can only be good for the motor bearings too. But, I cant' seem to find a 5mm one. They exist, as Mikado has a part # for it, but ReadyHeli, the main Mikado source I know of, only lists 6mm ones. Can anybody steer me to a source, or have one they'd like to sell?

Links to the two UK Mikado suppliers:

Hey thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping there might be a domestic supplier, but fast-lad looks to be fine for delivery to the U.S too. I'll go with them.

It acts as additional support for the motor shaft and pinion. its purpose is to stop the motor/motor shaft flexing in the mount or bending during high load 3D and thus affecting the meshing of the motor pinion and main gear. It's a standard part on the 550SX and 600SX but optional extra for the other 500's and 600's.
