Re: CAN I USE THIS

I'm not sure anyone would object to you simply using the replacement motor without the KOP motors being toasted. It is just more work to remove the pinion and put it on the KOP motor and if the replacement motor that comes is the exact same motor why should you have to destroy a perfectly good motor?

When you win a match and someone calls you on your motor not being burnt out who is going to look ungp? Not that I'm encouraging anything.

Re: CAN I USE THIS

With the 36mm gearboxes I find the ones with a 5:1 first stage have a pinion gear that can sometimes snap when being pressed on to an FP motor... don't know what your mileage will be like with the newer gearboxes and the 545 motors, but if you can get a spare pinion sent with your shipment it might be worth the extra couple of bucks...
