Definitely not something new, the problem has been there for a few years now. The FP's are notorious for magic smoke. 217 and 233 use them every year with a lot of success though. 217 uses them in there drivetrain sometimes one per side and adds more power and speed to there transmissions. 233 used them for there shooter wheel this year, two combined and last year used them to extend and retract there arm in a combined gearbox. Again a fan is a fine idea, but make sure your not over working the motor, especially the FP's there not made to take a heavy load. There purpose is to run for long periods of time at a certain fixed rate, remember there used in power wheels cars. Just my two cents on the Fisher price motor topic.

-Good luck,
