I have an MPC(1975)F-3 that has stripped gears(The motor runs but the wheels won't spin).I took apart the motor/gear box and discovered that the vertical worm seems smaller than my MPC EP-5(which uses a similar power truck).My question is:Where can I buy the gears needed to repair it and should I replace the nylon gear in the truck with a metal postwar replacement.Thanks in advance for any replies.PS How difficult is it to de-assemble the truck for gear replacement?
