Josh, is the gearbox that bad? Never had mine going yet - I've seen someone else compare them to a "bag of bones"

The problem with the 803 box is the gear ratios, 1st to 3rd gears are low with a large step up to 4th. This is what gives the 803 engine a bit of acceleration at lower speeds. The 948 box has much better spaced gears. There is gearbox table for comparison on the Series MM website, http://seriesmm.mmoc.org.uk, under car identification
