Benn,
That would be a good test of the motors, my goal was to test make a
comparison between the two systems. Unfortunately, I don't have any RC
track anymore. I gave it my parents so they would have some track for a
10183-based push train for the grand kids.
Further thought on the matter suggests that the train motor will get
a redesign, so comparisons between the two current motors may not be
particularly useful. Since the Power Function system uses different
connectors, either an adapter will be needed to make the old motor work
with the new wire, or the motor will need to be redesigned.
