Is it legal to buy a jack and use parts out of it? I seem to remember an old rule against buying big things and using parts from them (i.e. buying a lawnmower to use the wheels). I guess it's a change for this year, but am I correct in saying that was a rule before?
It is ok to buy a jack and use the Chiaphua motor and the gear cluster in it, as long as it was part of the kit. Last year people couldn't buy the gear cluster all by itself, so they were forced to buy the whole jack, which come with its chiaphua motor, so that wasn't too bad of a deal.

Its like the same with buying a hand drill, and use its drill motor, as long as its the same motor as the kit's, and you are only using the drill motor.
