I just picked up one of the old style 9v technic motors and I am having a problem. (URL) works just fine when I just run it so the motor is ok. If I make it into a vechicle however, it works when I hold it in the air but not when I put it on the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

Only if TLG comes up with a suitable piece. And by that time, I suspect they'll also have a model to go with it, thus beating me to the point. But if they don't, then maybe I'll have a chance. :-) I've already got two 8462's, so there's some of the (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

If I understand correctly, sounds like what we (in USA) call a "kludge". Although in a less technical (read "non-computer geek") context we might say its was a jury-rigged or jack-legged solution. Bob (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
