R30 is what you are thinking of. But it covers modifying the motor. Disassembling the motor to press on a shaft adapter and then reassembling the other unmodified motor really isn't modifying the motor so would be allowed under this rule.

As other have posted, it sounds like an issue with the brushes. When the bag motors first came out they had this issue. Maybe you have an old one?
