Greetings!
Recently I picked up a lego techo kit (#8266/3038) to add some extra
parts to my collection. The kit contains, among other things, a motor
and a 6 volt power supply with a single on-off switch.
To try out the new motor I built the simple rover-bot and constructed a
program which turned the motors on for 1 second and then shuts them off.
To my surprise the motor, when used along side an original from the
robotics invention system, operates at slightly different RPM.
The motors look identical. However upon further inspection I noticed
the part number (enscribed on the motor) is different. On the OEM motor
the part number is 71427 and the new motor the part number is
71427-002.
A couple of questions:
- Has anyone else experienced this?
- Is it safe to use this motor with the RCX?
Thanks for any info,
-- Gary

| I think it's just an older version of the same motor. I've bought several 8735 Advanced Power Packs from different sources. The newer ones had the 71427-002 motor and three that I got from a local toy shop had obviously been sitting on their shelf (...) (24 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics)
