Heat Sinks for Fisher Price

I believe the success of all is better than the success of one because that one has the "secret formula" so here I have some valuable information for you. For EVERYONE using the Fisher Price motors. I recommend buying this heatsink http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXTG84&P=ML (one is needed for each fisher price motor) and putting it on with heatsink grease/compound available from Radio Shack (very important). They fit the FP just about perfectly. We have used them on the drill motors in 2003 and 2004 with great success. Without them the motor would burn your finger the instant you touched it. With them, you could hold your finger on for five seconds or more. In combination with a small muffin fan, these will help keep your motors alive. The FPs pack a lot of punch in a very small volume so if the heat can't escape, they will die. Good luck!

Also, if the demand of these is so high that they get out of stock, I'll find an alternative unit.
