If you can't find them on your side of the pond, check with Phil [Blitzkreig on this forum].  He does custom work on the KT's and I'm sure he can help you out.

Check out http://www.rctankwars.com/

Let us knw how you like it... the KT will probably be my next tank  ;D

Hi jumags are you after the original Matorro gearbox or are you going to swap it out for aftermarket ones. If you are changing the original gearbox I recommend using the low profile superstrong units available from Forgebear or Asiatam 3 to 1 units as the original gearbox is not very good. Hope this helps

you may find this conversion easy and cheap using standard HL metal gears for your KT.
1 remove the old gears
2 cut off pegs
3 make a floor that you can attach new gear boxes to
4 fix it in place - job done

you can now remove that annoying bulge on the front!

What type of gears are those JRC?
I picked up a KT cheap off ebay a couple of weeks ago and I think it's going to push it way to the front of the queue and become my next project.
