Replacing all of the components is really the best way.
The main gearbox has a bit of "play" in it but since we only take a few weekend trips per year I decided to lube it and use it. I've been told that the electronic controller is fairly trouble-free so I left that in place. The initial problem with mine was the plastic gear in the wormgear box stripped. I also found some stress cracks on the mounting plate and welded them up before stripping and painting with Eastwood "chassis black".
