Yes, as mods go, motor replacements are fairly easy. You just need some basic proficiency with a screw driver and a soldering iron.

That being said, replacing the motors is usually just a first step. Better motors need more current, which means bigger batteries, which require better wiring and switches. On top of that there's the question of whether to replace the flywheel cage, and ultimately the flywheels themselves.

I will say this though, you can put 2S motors like RM2s, Meishels, or Honey Badgers in an otherwise stock blaster with some IMRs and get decent performance. I especially like the Solarbotics RM2s for direct replacements. You can literally solder them in and go. Bang for the buck, they're the easiest, least expensive option going.
