I have a set in my Tiger I that streetsquid is painting and weathering right now. I also have a set that I'm building right now for my King Tiger (Marcel Rientjes sends the complete parts and you build them yourself). And I'm going to be getting a set for my Panther build when my refund comes. They are very tough (I like to think they're bullet proof), they have realistic off road speed, they have great torque (if your into that like me) and they look great in a tank. Marcel (Mr-Design) is very friendly and answered all my questions on the BTN forum (just sign up and send him a PM):

It takes the gearbox parts about two-three weeks to arrive once you order them. And the price is 220 eur, but it's worth it in my opinion and it's cheaper than the Wecohe uprade geraboxes.
Here are pics of my gearboxes before I put them in the Tiger (keep in mind I had them in my KV-1/2 for awhile before selling the KV-1/2), keep in mind the ratio on these gearboxes is 150:1:

And here is video of Lowe with the Mr-Design gearboxes in action:

I believe his VK 4502 P has them:

And here he has faster gears (you can order them with the gearboxes, which I plan for my Panther):

Hope that answers some of your questions!
