(...) I really wanted to use the 4.5V motor from [LEGOSet 8700] since the motor is near-identical to 870's, but the battery box from that set is cylindrical and very long, so it's doubtful I could make it fit in there. However, if I decide to use 9V (...) (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

From memory the crane was a bit of a clunker with 4.5v. Let us know how it goes with 9volts in the back ! Steve (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks! No, these motors were only used for FLL type challenges, not in fast RC cars. I can submit the bad motors for *CSI* and 'autopsy' if need be. C S Soh (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

The gearbox pack 673F is now on sale at half-price at S@H (URL) there a good use for it? I could use it as a motor, except I can't tell how it's powered (how many volts, nature of connection). If it only works connected to another RC motor, then it (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)
