This weekend I received the new Active Hobby TA05 countersteer kit:
Active did a great job machining the pulley. It slides easily onto the spur gear holder, and there isn't a hint of play once it's in place:

I opted not to use the belt included with the kit and used a spare TA05 IFS-R belt (#54045) instead, which fits perfectly without any modifications like I had hoped. This is great news because IFS-R belts are readily available on eBay and Tamiya USA's e-store:
My driving impressions should be posted within the next couple of days. Unfortunately, because of bad weather and a busy weekend, I haven't been able to spend more than ten minutes trying it out.
