Re: Use of Globe Motor from 2009 KOP?
As I recall from having one apart, the motor shaft of the Globe is significantly larger than that of the F-P or Mabuchi motors. It looked like it would be difficult to find a matching pinion which would press on any of the KOP motors.

If you do find a way, I hope you'll share it around - I like the size and robustness of the Globe gearbox and AM has those really nice little hubs just made for them.
