I have that car too but I haven't tied it to the handyboard yet because it
gets stuck goin sideways! Does yours??
Have you tried the motor function or just the fd() function. The motor
function should be able to slow down the motors. If not, the real problem
is the ratio of the built in gears. I made the mistake of using 3 volt
motors before and suffered for it. I think the platform and the motors are
great.

| Hello All, I have just purchased a new TYCO 9.6V Zig Zag car. It seems to have a fairly good base w/treads. I connected it to the handyboard (after gutting it and extending the wires ). Next I gave the motors a test and they both ran way too fast. (...) (27 years ago, 1-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
