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.


3v toy motors are noisy little buggers and were never designed to be
anywhere near a microprocessor.

if you reduced the hb motor battery supply to 3v, you might have a
chance.

at 9v, i really doubt it.

Maybe Tamiya offers better motors for this kit?
Where might I get an ideal motor for my HB?

Thanks in advance...
