Anyone know where to get rebuild parts for the 3Racing gear diff, or even just the blades for the outdrives? Seems to be out of stock or discontinued everywhere I usually look. How about any other blades that will fit?

EDIT: Discovered something interesting about my M05 tonight. The gearbox actually gets tighter as it heats up during a race. Before the race, smooth as silk. After a race, noisy with extra friction. Let it cool, loosens up. Very weird. Seems the tolerances are much tighter than in the past. I may file a tiny bit of material from the bosses where the gear shafts mount. to see if that alleviates a little pressure.
