As the rule states, FABRICATED items are limited to 30lbs. This does NOT include unmodified COTS items. Spare motors, sprockets, bolts, nuts, wheels (depends), pistons, brass fittings, air tanks, motor controllers, bearings, pulleys, belts (probably not chain), etc. are NOT included in that 30lbs.

So, theoretically, while a spare entire drive-train may weigh 40lbs, since it is possible to separate the system into 2 piles, COTS and FABRICATED, and it may be obvious that one could remove enough unmodified COTS items from the assemblies to reduce the assembly to <30lbs, you should be allowed to take it in.
