I personally loved the new drill motors. They had plenty of power and we never once had a problem with over-heating. THough we did have to change out like 6 or 7 of the mounts and trashed about 6 couplers. We also had a problem with the wires becoming disconected from the brushes with a small tug of the wire but beside those few thing the motors were excelent. I say give 4 or 6 in the kit next year. I also saw one team who overheated the motors and as a resault the plastic casing the holds the brushes in melted. But we helped them fix it with zip ties. The mounts were a different story though. Get rid of them they are crap. Keep the gear boxes though they were good
