Re: Mabuchi Gearbox Assembly
I haven't tried switching the F-P gear to the BaneBots RS-545 motor, but I'd advise against it. The shaft on the 545 is much shorter, and not textured like the one on the F-P. (Then again, the motors aren't that expensive, if you've got spares. You could try it and report on your success.)

Also, the Fisher-Price 00968-9015 from this year is made by Johnson, not Mabuchi. Mabuchi makes the small RS-385 motor in the kit this year.
