Sure its not your selector bracket thats let go as opposed to the box? The gear clusters used in our boxes are the same as that used in legnums & early evos. I keep breaking everything around the box, like the diff or a bearing lol

Ah crap, sorry forgot about your pm. I do have some of the shafts, but they're fucked, I wouldn't sell them to you. I plan on using them as press tools lol

Which leads me to my next question, how the hell did you snap one of them? They are a good inch thick. Sounds like you might have had an oil flow problem...

The only gearbox I have seen destroy itself in person was my mates hardly modded cyborg.
