Haven't had a single problem with it since, and that includes a full day of playing matches at an off season event (only 10 teams were there too, so we were on the field almost every other match). This years FP's would last maybe 2 rounds in the eliminations at North Star this past year.
That is interesting.

In all honesty I don't know a lot about the actual difference between each years FP motor. I do know that it has tended to be different almost every year for the past few years.

If I recall correctly we were given only 1 of the FPs this year, and it was a significant step up in power.

We placed it in our roller claw and absolutely no problems with all year. In the past we've used them in various systems (elevators, hopper systems, drive trains), and as long as you didn't stall them, they worked fantastically.
