Re: Is it ok to change the shaft of a fisherprice motor?

Coach,
If you are referring to the motor only, you can modify the shaft, you may not replace it. That would require opening the motor which violates the do not modify rule. As Jim has pointed out above, the transmission (the black plastic with white output couplers) is not considered part of the motor and is therefore entirely modifiable.
