I use an external battery pack whenever possible/practical. It has 8 (not 6)
NiMh cells, providing a total of 9.6 volts. Works fine. Actually, it
produces a little more power than ordinary batteries. You need a socket for
external power on the RCX though. Which is included in RIS 1.0 only.
If you need more parts, get a Technic Space Shuttle (if still available in
your area). It's got lots of useful bits, including a lot of gears, axles.
Also a gear box and two motors (one old technic style and one micro motor,
both of which work fine with the RCX).

Have fun,

Arjen
