Many thanks to John Morgan for putting the pictures up. My question (to
John Heins or anyone who can answer) is based on looking at those images.

Has anyone tried to drive these with Mindstorms? What is the no-load RPM at
full power?

Hmm. In the pictures on BrickShelf, there appears to be an axle coming out
of the front of the receiver unit. No separate steering unit. Is this what
you are talking about, or does this piece come off? Is this proportional
steering? What is the total amount of rotation for that axle output?
Does anyone know what frequency band these are on in the United States
market?
