If it was a dummy why do you have to remove a motor???Also, if it was a dummy how do you know it runs well???

Early P2K versions were designed like they would never need to be serviced. The wiring is minimal in length. The weights and electronics screw in place, but can not be removed without pulling some soldered wires. This is not a problem if you have a good soldering system. You have to keep track of which wires are removed and from where.
Once the weights and electronics are removed, the motor is held in place like old Athearn BB engines.

Click on Literature, scroll down to Life Like. From there you can see the diagrams and "exploded" parts view, and how to remove the shell.
