it's a unit of measure on gear teeth.
it's short for module

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear#The_module_system

"usually understood to mean the pitch diameter in millimeters divided by the number of teeth"

1/8 scale cars generally run Mod1 gears, 1/10 scale trucks runs Mod .8, generally referred to as "32 pitch gears", and some smaller 1/10 cars even run 48 pitch gears

It's just a way to measure the size of gear teeth and make sure you have proper gears on custom builds
