If so, I've got a spare 1:256 RS775 gearbox I could lend you. I'll hunt around a little more in our parts and see if I can turn up the necessary parts to whip up something closer to a 1:132, but I think we mostly have 1:4 stages at this point.

Exactly what all is broken on your gearbox? We ordered parts ala carte from BB and they had an amazingly short leadtime. You might just order a new front block + shaft from them and whatever new gears you need.
I can attest to the short leadtime.

As a side note, are you using the default aluminum body or steel? We had some problems with the body damaging the gears and falling apart until we switched them with steel.
