I'm not sure they ever had the rear main gear available... even if they did.. the Revco gears are NOT needed anymore.. Gaui corrected the gear issue by using better plastics. you can check your 42T main gear and see if it has OK stamped on it.. if so, it's a new gear. the 50T and 60T front main gears are all suing the new plastics.
The Revco gears were great at the time, but being mod .6 instead of mod .8 like the Gaui gears, they had even less area for the teeth to mesh.. The key to NOT stripping the gears is having the gear mesh PERFECT. if it's to tight there will be heat build up and you'll smear the gear... to loose and you'll rip the teeth off.
