Both these will fit.

You'll need a pinion puller to remove pinion and put on new motors.

What electronics do you use for that motors? I have the heng long red motors and my electronics stall with them.

The JP motors have a low current draw less than 5A for the 480 speed so should be okay with most electronics. don't have experience with the red cap motors so cannot comment on them stalling.

i agree with paul mine runs fine i haven't changed the track length ether. i think they run better on the metal gear as when they where plastic my tracks kept drifting of the sprockets but now haven't had that problem
