2003 Drill Motors Good or Bad?

[sanddrag]

They survived through 19 matches in Phoenix and 15 matches in LA. The wire thing was not a rule, just a suggestion. We replaced the stock wires with finely stranded 8 guage. We had the motors and trannies in the mount provided in the kit. Additionally, the chiaphua was geared to the same shaft the drill was spinning. We had no problems whatsoever during use. We did not modify the trannies or mounts in any way. The shifter stayed in place and the clutches never slipped and the coupler never backed off

YAY for FIRST for providing an excellent kit.

The one problem we did have is that we cracked the thin part of the black plastic endbell of one of the motors during soldering the new wires on. A little 5 minute epoxy and it was stronger than the day it was new.

*We did not use the helical gearboxes.
