a) No, since it is a custom product, but the diffs are very simple. If you were to change the pulley, though, you need to be carefull when tightening the new one so you won't bend the aluminium ring that presses on to the pulley (I am not talking about the big blue part, but there is a smaller/thinner ring on the inside), and make sure that the screws stay correctly on the threads as the thread is quite open.

b) As Jan already said, the gears are from an Xray NT1. The pulleys are standard Tamiya ones but custom machined (the center hole has been opened quite a bit). The pulley, if you would need a new one, could be customized at home or your workplace etc if you have proper tools for it, or you can of course buy a spare with the diffs.
