Re: CAN I USE THIS

You can use that transmission, but you must exchange the motor for a kit one (both the RS-545 and the Fisher Price motors can be put into it without much difficulty).

If you have to order this and won't be putting it on until your regional I would recommend this instead:

It is the same reduction but is a newer transmission with a more durable construction, and it ships with an RS-545 meaning the motor it comes with IS legal for use. We're using 2 of these for our drive system right now and have had no problems thus far (we put fans on it for cooling, which I would recommend if you'll be demanding alot from these motors).
