No. You may only use the motors in the kit and only in the quantities provided.

Re: using more motors
 

have you found a good way to couple to the jideco motor?

Re: using more motors
 

We had one of the local machine shops make us a coupling from the inventor file one the first parts library, Warning, the inventor files for the Jideco motor are not accurate enough for this. I spent the better part of three hours with a dremmil (sp) and one of the bits the shop had used re cutting the profile to fit the gear. It only has 4 inside teeth and is made out of steel. Other good suggestions I've heard are casting one from epoxy putty. be sure and use a release agent. And using a clamp like device to grip the teeth. Also the inventor file for the van door motor is not accurate enough to make a bracket that you can bolt the van door motor to. Mounting holes are to far from the shaft by about 3/32" Good luck
