does the fox eye fzs suffer with the sprocket issue ?

[butthead]

thanks , amazing that they didnt address the known issue in model changes , but i guess it was mostly a cosmetical change but even so it only required a mod on the output shaft , crazy. 
has anyone been successful in drilling the end of the output shaft , tapping a thread for a bolt and spacer , if the threads on the shaft are too far stripped to hold the nut  ?
