Re: Fisher Price Gearbox?

Yeah... you can modify the FP gearbox, as it isn't integral.

However, it might not be worth it. The FP goes 15000 RPM free speed (give or take a few hundred or so), and I'm trying to remember what that gearbox takes it down to. If it's close to the gearbox number, use a sprocket or two; otherwise, use a different gearbox.
