Even i have 3 motors that hardley move by hand I'm in india and i brought
this kit and extra motors 1 1/2 years back ,, but i thought that as i just
kept it like that and did not use it it got stuck . I never knew lego
supplies bad motors ,, does any one have a soultion to this ?? i dont think
it will be possible to send it back , as out of three, only one is packed ..
altogether i have around 8 motors .. ..
Can i use the stuck motors again ??

| Talk to LEGO, they are very understanding about this. They swapped 3 dead motors out for me, and two of them were at least 18 months old. I couldn't even remember what sets they came in, let alone packaged. Regards, Dave. -- patel wrote in message (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
