i need to know how to modify the motors so as to let them slip so they dont make a grinding noise.
You may not modify motors except as listed below. The motors have distinctive noises that are not an indication that anything is wrong.
M15 The motors in the kit may not be modified except as follows:
· It is acceptable to modify the mounting brackets and/or other structural parts of the motors (output shaft, housing, etc.) as long as the electrical system is not modified and the integral mechanical system of the moving parts (bearings, bushings, worm gear output stages, etc.) is not changed or removed.
· The gearboxes for the Fisher-Price, Drill, and Globe motors are not considered “integral” and may be separated from the motors. FIRST will not provide replacement for parts that fail due to modification.

Are you referring to the dril motors? If so the “grinding” you are probabaly hearing is the clutch slipping. There are instructions on this forum on how to lock the clutch. Do a search.
Please explain what you are referring to.
