First off, make SURE the gearing of the replacement motor mates with the truck gears properly and runs freely without binding or slop.

I would be inclined to re-use the original motors. I would be SHOCKED if the worm gear is a perfect mesh, MTH has used so many different ones over the years, with fractions of a millimeter differences among them. Even if it meshes perfectly, the RS-365SH is a shorter motor making less torque. I believe the outside diameter of the old and new motors are the same, so the tach sensor should mount the same way. Making a tach strip with the proper stripe spacing isn't rocket science.

Marty I'm curious about what's different in the official upgrade kit? I thought all PS3 boards were the same except for software. Is it just a question of the correct harnesses, etc.? Thanks.
