M/L 3:1 (3 shaft) 48mm and 58mm versions
L/L 5:1 (3 shaft, but 5 reductions) 48mm and 58mm (delayed a bit longer, I had to make all new molds for these. Do not buy the current steel ones from other vendors as they will not perform well at all. The bearings were not installed and the bushings left in by mistake and the EU vendors bought them to sell. With heavier gears and the same motor performance will not be optimal.)
These will be the new all bearing version steel gearboxes coming soon. Bearings will be available on every reduction gear and the final drive shaft as well. NO SHIMMING will be needed on these gearboxes, there is no lateral play in them. The new numbers will be something like TAG14000/14005/14010 etc. I haven't added them to the system yet so I dont have the exact numbers, but they will come in very nice new boxes.
I have the steel 3 shaft steel gears with bearings from Hobby Raw and they are great. Smoothest gear boxes I have ever operated. The tank will coast down hill with them, so I am not sure why you are telling people to stay away from them?
