Were you able to take it apart without damaging the gearbox? We stripped the plastic spur gear on the inside last year after wear and tear from 2 competitions and a lot of demos, and I was trying to take it apart and confirm it actually was stripped. I didn't want to completely destroy the motor/gearbox assembly though, and it looked like you had to dremel off the metal tabs to get it open. Is this correct or did you do it a different way?
