... Are there any metal bevel gears compatible with the XV-02 oil filled gear diff 22049? Thank you!

Hi guys, I have just bought a TAMIYA R/C LAND CRUISER 40 PICK UP GF-01 for Xmas and i'm getting a few things sorted before starting the build. I have ordered some metal bearings and a steel pinion. What i cannot seem to find is, a metal set of gears cogs / differentials. Do you know if anyone makes a set or if not, are the black plastic ones that come with the set, the reinforced kind? I'm also looking at the Yeah Racing suspension kits. has anyone tried these or got any thoughts on quality of Yeah racing aluminium spares? Thanks Matt

Hi Guys, i am looking for some help, i have started building the chassis for the Calsonic Impul Porsche (item no: 58329)and i have been having trouble building the differentials for the front and rear in that when you screw the two plastic parts together with the Spur gear & ball bearings, the instructions state that you have to tighten the screw a littlebi t at a time until the spur gear stops slipping. I have found that i have had to tighten the screw quite a lot in order that the spur will not turn! My question is - is this normal as i do not want to proceed any further in case i have to strip the diffs down again because of a mistake. Can anybody help please?
