also, if I buy the old plastic version 4wd, how do I know that the bevel gears are the updated ones, assuming that they have fixed the problem.

The guys are right, it wasn't as much the gears more the shimming. Also the first type of plastic they were using was a little soft, the new stuff is so much better.
FYI - I've been building my new car, some points of interest.
The centre diff/motor has been moved forward by about 6-7mm from the plastic car.
The batteries have been moved fwd by 4-5mm
The overall wheelbase is also shorter by about 2-3mm.
