I friend of mine put together a gearbox for my aging Tiger 1 so I had a quick test of it after installing it . Also working on a challenger 1 soundset for the armoured models CH1 kit coming up , so a quick ( wip) test of that also . Enjoy

Hello, Maxmekker. That gearbox seems to run quite smoothly. There seem to be bearings in the 3d printed gearbox itself? Am I correct, or do the axles just extend to the original bearings?
