I was told that yes, the new gearboxes will have bearings on all shafts, will be four shaft and available in both 48 and 58mm shaft lengths. I'll also be watching for any clearance sales on the boxes with bushings at the gearshafts. Those are still just fine for light tanks, so I'm hoping once the "all bearing" boxes are available vendors will want to get rid of old stock for a good price. Yeah, I'm a cheap buzzard.

I didn't know about the hobby raw boxes, thanks for that. I have black steel 3 shaft in the 99A right now but they have bushings on the gearshafts so I might want to get a set of "all bearing" boxes for that, and I'll eventually get an Abrams and want 3 shaft in that as well. The 4 shaft that come with the Abrams will go in a different tank, and I have plenty that need them.
