Bruce did the series-motor wiring mod work?

It definitely slowed down the engine and made it a bit more controllable. On the other hand, the top speed now--unsurprisingly--feels slower than other engines in the toy category. (I can't prove that statement.)  As a childs toy or first-timers engine, I can't say that the motor modification will improve overall play-value. I think it is more important for Menards to fix all the other mechanical and manufacturing issues.

BTW, as others have mentioned the internal wiring and electronics board looks very good and well laid out.
