Re: THE Fisher-Price Motor Spec Sheet
Another thing to think about...

If the FP GB was designed to work with this motor at 6v, what are the plastic gear teeth going to do when you stall it at 12v?

Is it reasonable to expect that they over-designed the gear teeth by a factor of 4x? (2x to account for the 2x of the motor and an additional 2x so that you have your standard safety factor.)

In 2002, we pushed the FP gear teeth beyond their normal operating range and spit out teeth in every match.

Just one more thing to watch out for.
