Bronze gear necessary??

Thanks, I ordered one. I don't see any shafts for sale 'bare'....looks like I have to buy one with a gear and change it out (?)

I like the Milodon shafts...they stay full diameter all the way to the hex. A lot of others I see lose some diameter.
Yes, you have to buy the mp drive and change out the gear.
Taper or no taper, it won't be an issue.
