The plastic gearboxes in my Heng Long Sherman are not holding up to the metal tracks with duckbills, so I'm looking for some metal replacements.

Anyone have a link to some that will drop in?

Thanks,
Steve

I was pleasantly surprised that I could get steel gearboxes from ForgeBearTanks in the UK for cheaper than that, and shipped to me in Florida in 7 days! I don't know how Dave makes a dime, but I'm a fan!

If you don't mind me piggy backing a question onto this one...is there a gear ratio that is best for slowing the Sherman down a bit? I noticed the HL Sherman is really fast and doesn't like to move slowly unless you're REEEEAAALLLY careful with the controls. My HL Tiger is geared differently and can crawl like a dream. Is this remedied by the gearbox or is it also remedied by replacing the electronics? I was reading about the IBU2U board and it said something about a speed control.

I have an IBU2U. It allows you to specify a maximum voltage percentage for backwards and forwards, so you can limit speed in both directions independently.

Awesome, that's great to know! Thanks!
