Myself and another member in our tank group have done the conversion using the stock gears that came with the tank. With some reasonable driving around a battlefield that is inside (no rocks, dirt, etc.) and you should be fine. I have about 3 meetings on my T34 with about 5 or 6 battles per meeting and it still hasn't let me down. Use some 280 motors replacing the stock units and the tank is a blast!

Of course, don't expect the durability of a Tamiya gearbox.
