Just stumbled upon this on eBay..
Tamiya Double Gearbox Left/right Independent 4-speed
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3023530257
At £6.99 I couldn’t resist it, may be possible to use it as a central transfer box between the axles.
Nothing ventured nothing gained

That's what a lot of guys use for the 1/18 halftracks.

Hi Gary,
You’ll see a Jagdpanzer IV and a Jagdpanther & a few trucks but that’s about it

OK, I did my first job as an HL truck mechanic.
A guy at worked picked one up for his 3 year old grandson, so I just did my first steering box replacement on a stock truck. Flagged a whole quarter-hour on that one.
Naturally I had the parts since none of my trucks run on stock steering anymore, thankfully.
I guess with use the steering boxes wear out kinda quick, so one more reason to be sure we did the right thing when we put in those servos.
