This can be fixed, but id rather you talk to someone on my team who knows more about this issue than I so I dont give bad advice on the process. If you need help to fix this email me at shawny963@wi.rr.com immediately. This can be fixed in minutes.
Its not surprising. The same situation is present with the drill motors. They do that on delibrately because it provides more speed?? in one direction. Its called changing the timing. The power output should be the same no mattter what. Personaly our team never smoked a fisher price motor when it was on our drivetrain one year. Unfortuantely the gearboxes failed. Also you can't change the motors in any way.
