Hello everyone. New here and new to RC 1/16 tanks.

Picked up a couple used Taigen metal IR version tanks for what I think was good deal at $600 for both. One is the Late Tiger 1 and the other is the 76 Sherman.
Hoping I can get some ideas on improving the sound and or electronics. The Tiger operation is all working however the Sherman gearbox must be stripped. Won't move but the gears are spinning. Removed sprocket to see if outer shaft turns without load. Turned but with any resistance stopped with gears still spinning.
It appears to have the newer V2 gearbox. Should I replace it with another V2 or go with the newer V3. Or something else?
Pardon my ignorance and thanks for any help.

Paul
