Hi all.
I received a cargo train for Christmas and was experimenting with the motors
and speed control unit. I would like to incorporate the tracks and railway
motor into some RCX projects in the near future.
When I hook a regular lego motor (the new style ones) to the railway speed
controller, it turns the motor quite slow even cranked up full, yet the
railway motor screams. I assume they put a much high speed motor in the
railway unit. Does anyone know the specs on all the motors, or where the info
can be found? I wonder if there are 2 motors inside the train unit (I'm not
in the mood to smash open my new train motor to find out).
I haven't tried to power the train with the RCX yet, but it will be
interesting to see how the speed will work out. I will let you know when I
find out more.
Any comments or experience pertaining to this subject would be welcomed.
thanks
Dean
