How well do the FP mototrs work? Aren't you worried about the motors going bad? But i do like that it is simple, looks heavy though. Well everything looks heavy to me because we are 12 lbs over right now...

we clipped on some heat sinks and are adding muffin fans. It only takes a second to spinum up so if we arent shooting they wont be on. I am a little worried about them over heating. We have 4 more with pinions pressed on if needed tho ... the assembly shown weighs 12lbs. Overall we are about 15lbs underwieght and after 7 years in FIRST that has never happened haha.
