Default Looking for short axis gearbox!

Hey guys, i'm in need of heng long metal gearbox short axis (it's for a Panzer IV).

Anyone got a spare one around?

I'm in Canada and i can paypal. I am in a hurry for it, so i can pay for express/quick shipping.

I know retailers sell them, but at $35 +$15 shipping (super slow mail)...

Or if anyone can recommend a GOOD gearbox around $50...'

Thanks

I found those: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Upgrade-Steel-Gear-Box-for-1-16-Henglong-Tank-Short-Axis-/150845202949?pt=US_Radio_Control_Control_Line&hash =item231f132205

Are they any good? It seems the same cheap motor and gearbox plate with steel gears in it. Correct? Or are they of higher quality all around?

I found 3 types. Short axis, Long axis, Lowprofile.

Just grab the one that fits the sherman. Not sure which type it has.

Looks like sherman tank's gear box isn't fit for other HL tank. I found Hobby raw is selling it separately .

That looks like the correct gearbox, but I think you are right, I dont see any ball bearings on the final drive so they aren't the higher-quality unit's, and not worth the price they want.

I don't have any spares!!
