Hey Perry the 3-1 gearbox can be made and it's not hard to do. The gear box by Bubbajoexx is a nice peice of work. go to
www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8142064/tm.htm and go down the page to babbajoexx. 2 of my tanks have the home made gear box.

Hey John,
Yes I know all about that. I started making 3:1 gearboxes years ago and posting the info here on this forum long before Bubbajoe was a member. See this thread.

I don't say this in a snooty way and in no means am I disparaging Bubba's contributions here. I often see my and others ideas recycled, and usually improved upon. Not a fan of 'I invented it first' people anyway
The reason I am inquiring about these specific gearboxes because they have a brass gear, actual bearings, and a thicker gauge steel than the HL's. All those add up to make the best 3:1 gearbox I can find. I have 3:1's in all my tanks (10). If I can buy more of these it's just easier. THe last set was about $70 from Blueslatesman.
RCcommand and RC tankwars don't have these. At least on their website. Besides, the last 3:1's I ordered from RC command took 3 months and never came. He doesn't have them. Had to cancel the order.
