8O ..very nice, but pretty pricey
Is that a HL in that picture? Looks like you still need those side support plates to mount them on a HL

ETO transmissions seem to be aimed mainly to Tamiya models, but as Tamiyas can be adapted to use other drive systems, non-Tamiyas can also be adapted. I guess it depends on the amount of work and expertise needed. These transmissions are state of the art, though... 8O and the prices they command tend to confirm that...
Worth a look though..

Lolz... well If I do end up with that bevel gear from eBay and it doesn't fit my Tiger I'll just force it into the cheap HL Pz3 that I got for 60 Euros and do some hot glue magic
