Hey, I need to replace gearboxes for a Panzer III, and Im considering this ones:

They seem quite robust, and they have two speeds changing just a sprochet location, I have readed mixed reviews about it in other forums.

What do you think about them? Are too noisy? What about the speeds? Do they worth the money? I drive my tank over mud, sand, high grass, etc, so I need something durable but afordable.

Thanks!

That looks great! How much does it cost, and where to buy?

Edit:
After searching on Taobao, I've found the gearboxes you posted. it is claimed to be Mato and cost around US$46. I also found a different gearboxes claimed to be 7 grades, and has two speed; the lower speed has ratio of 1:52 and high speed 1:37. It cost around US$55 a pair. (Price in China, not include shipping)
