I wouldn't replace the motors. If you want to buy a spare just in case one burns out, that would be a perfectly sane thing to do. But if you want to be extra prepared for inspection, print out these documents:
*Kit of parts checklist (shows that it's a KoP item)
*AndyMark product pages for the gear motor and the replacement motor.
*Rules page showing which motors are legal.
You aren't going to get hassled about this in inspection as long as you are knowledgeable enough to explain what product you're using.
The motor itself is what's legal. You are allowed to use any gearbox you want with that motor. That's why the rules reference the replacement parts motor instead of the product that also includes the planetary gearbox.
