At 387.5 Watts, they are the most powerful motor in the kit; The small and big CIMs are 337 and 270 watts respectively. The bad thing about FP's is they don't like being stalled very much. But since we already had another 600 watts of motor that don't mind being stalled paired with it we thought it would be alright. Also, I remember the thunderchickens running a very similar setup in 04 (drill, CIM, FP), 05 (2x CIM, FP) (and 06?) without issue.

For future reference, page 8 on this .pdf has some great data on the kit motors.


So, short answer; absolutely yes... they increased the power of the gearbox from 607 watts to 994.5 Watts.
