Then you have to grab new sprockets which may mean new tracks as well then your back where we are now price wise. I fit tamiya gen 2 gearboxes in my Luchs, if they fit there they'll fit anywhere.
I use Tamiya gear boxes in nearly everyone of my custom build projects. Usually the Panther set but sometimes the Pershing set. They just always seem to be the perfect match for what I need.
