Guys,
I caught the mail on motors (3V etc.) and wasn't impressed.
I just bought one of those Bulldozer Kits from Tamiya and I
believe it contains 3V motors. Is there NO possible way of
using these motors??? I did notice the HB motor driver chip
getting quite hot with little load on the motors.
Maybe Tamiya offers better motors for this kit?
Where might I get an ideal motor for my HB?
Thanks in advance...

| (...) how did you take this measurement exactly? I think 75 mA might be kind of low, most motors will draw this much when they are just spinning but doing no useful work, but then draw much more when they are driving a geartrain.
