There are quite a few thorp full replacement gear sets on eBay USA that would probably keep yours going for quite a long time too.

Im just a bit concerned how much I'm ploughing into this car... for one day's racing
I'm going to take my chances with the standard box & see what happens.
I have sorted the ESC issue & given it another run around the garden (I was gonna take a video but the camera battery was flat) The diff is certainly better, it'll definitely slip with a hard'ish launch but hoping it'll be ok with some sympathetic driving
The gearbox noise seems ok, all I've really done though is added another O ring into the outdrives to reduce lateral movement of the dogbones
So all good (until the next disaster lol)
