The person who order will save shipping cost, but you still have to pay for the shipping from the person to you. You can just order yourself. Shipping from oversea is not that expensive by standard mail. 
Around $4~10 bucks.

as long as you use the hot water method, the gears will hold on pro 4.
I don't drive well and I broke other parts except the one way gear.
You can get a prp backplate for 17 bucks but i don't really think it's nessecairy
Make sure the screws are tightened and threadlock is applied.

I wonder if there are any delrin gears in the pipelines for the Pro 4, these would be much stronger than the stock ones IMO.

I know Product D made alum. diff gear and bevel gear for pro4, but I don't know if they release or not.

The PRP brace should pay for itself after a short period of time if you've been breaking gears. I haven't broken a single gear while running the brace.

All orders for our Pro 4 plates are shipping today, thanks again guys!!! The pre orders really helped me out on this part. It the first production aluminum part I've done and It's great to hear how well Troy's gears have been holding up while running it for the past 2 months. Thanks again for the help Troy. I'm sending you my new "TruSpin" spur gear plate as a bonus 
Here's a shot of the spur gear plate.
And here's another shot of the one way diff gear brace.
