Naw. I believe they used the Fisher-Price motor, sans gearbox, with the DeWalt tranny. They may have taken the housing, taken the motor and tranny out, and put an FP in instead of the DeWalt motor.
Also, 1114 and its "siblings" did not win Championships; Northern Knights (296) I'm not sure about.

Edit: For those not sure what a Fisher-Price looks like, see this picture:http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/19082
The FP is the small shiny one. Looks like the Bosch drill motors we had some time ago, and like the Mabuchis. I'd guess that a DeWalt motor looks very similar, hence the confusion.
