I didn't get it, but am still considering it despite the price. His gearboxes are really nice looking.

PS metal origin has a 222.coming out...saw some videos, looks nice....lol
Yup, saw Rolands gearboxes. Nice, but not really interested in throwing $300 into this till I have a gearbox failure. Really the gearbox is not the issue. The crown and bevel gears in the drivetrain are small and pot metal. Not going to withstand much abuse.
