I would be surprised if it did! And seriously bummed to boot.
I went back to working on the simulated engine I mentioned elsewhere. When I purchased one of my trucks it came with a set of basic mostly machined engine castings
but nothing else, no motors, gears, bearings, shafts... no guts of any kind.
I made this out of it:

Below I have it set in the frame of truck 2 I showed above. I have to finish making small screws for the pulleys( see the outsized one on the right side pulley), wiring and some Bosch decals, some odds and ends and of course putting proper plugs for power.. The max voltage I'll run it at is around 10v and it draws no more than 3 amps with no load. I haven't been able to stop the motors by grabbing the output shaft. More to follow.
