Re: 698's Fisher Price Motor Fix

In 2005, we were concerned that we would overwork the FP's, so we a created a shroud consisting of four fans and cube of aluminum. Since we were using the FP gearbox, we added a spacer to the motor mount. This allowed space for air to get to the front of the motor and blow through and cool off the inside of the FP, not just the outside.
