Adding FP Motor to '05 KOP Transmission

Would adding a Fisher Price motor, run through an AndyMark Planetary reducer, put enough strain on the existing KOP transmission to the point where it would not work, or to the point where the efficiency of the system is so low it wouldn't be worth using?

If you can answer this question with the math and/or know-how to back it up, could you also please explain the principles used to find this answer, or direct me to some further reading on this topic?

Thanks alot,
Tom
