Looks a lot (exactly) like the DKLM unit. I had to remove the covers to swap out the drive gear to slow down my HL gearbox. Apparently they make Slow and Fast versions and I needed to convert mine to slow.

Yeah I've saw that, mine was covered in white lithium grease, I wondered what was in the middle. It's supposed to be CNC'd, so where's all the gears? The small gears on the left are powered by the small motor, for stearing, so the main gears must be in the middle?
