You can also clean out all the grease from the slipper gear and CA or otherwise cement it into one solid bit, but for the easy way this is the gearbox set that includes about 4 solid gears.

Thank you very much, this is my first ever use of Atak, or rather any Zimmerit for that matter and it was a pleasure to work with, other than the front of the turret, but that just required gluing my fingers to it.
