What are the basic things you have to do to a Amp-Flo motor to make it combat ready?

There is a whole list of mods required for a Bosch 750. I take it most are to do with the magnets slipping or shattering.

[blazerbotics]

the magnets will need either re-gluing or retaining kit fitting. The A28-400 eats through brushes.

Meggamouse has converted to E30-400 mags and did Gloucester ok. More power than the CIM's.

Had a problem with one motor but that was because a screw dropped into the gears and jammed the drive.

Uses more battery power but did not overload the wotty. Have ordered 2 more off santa.....

hmm I have 2 of thos motors (would be nice to fit in beast) are they as good as a bosch tho ? I could just try them and see

well I did all those bits and seemed to work quite well, went for the a40 300 mags in the end.
the only thing im going to change is gear it down a bit !

I'm yet to build a heavy but the A28-400 is four times the cash of the E30-400 but only double the power. Is it really worth that much more for the extra?

It would depend on the design. If that is all you are going to buy for a push bot then its worth it, if you have other things to deal with and have other weapons then probably not.
