I have not used the micromotors for any steering assemblies but the geared motors work very well. Using short, low power (and counted so to get back to center easily) pulses I've had no problems either moving or stationary. Getting them to fit into (...) (24 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) How about putting a rubber band in the groove of the pulley, and have the calipers grip opposide sides (ie accross a diameter)? Not as technically correct, but a lot more stopping power. Or use rubber bands on the calipers themselves? ROSCO (24 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

The threads discussing what new mechanical functions and what new sets we would like in Technic has got me thinking about elements that are logical progressions of existing ones but that don't exist. I often find myself after a version of the 3/4 (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

Hello all, So, how much load has anyone successfully placed on a micromotor? I used a micromotor to steer 2 tandem axles in one of my model of a sideloading container truck (see olivierg.50megs.com/...eering.htm for details). When the truck was (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
