These are the low profile gearboxes needed for the Tiger 1, Pan-Tiger, Panzer 3, Panzer 4, Stug 3, KV-1, KV-2, and Sturmtigers! They are our new black can type motors and do have bearings on the final drive shaft. Here is a dirty set I just got done testing my Tiger with

I will get more specs in the next day or two such at the tanks it fits, pricing, and the item number. Stay tuned!
It looks like the overall height of the gearbox is the same as the high/low profile. The only "shortening" appears be lowering the height of one of the motors by moving it to a different position. Am I missing something?

Any plans to put replace the brass bushings with ball bearings on each gear shaft?

Are you discontinuing the low-profile brass gearboxes?
