| There are two issues here. 1. Can the motors sustain more than 9 volts without damage? If I was TLC designing motors for use by kids, I'd make sure there was a large safety margin. New batteries are typically 0.1 - 0.2 volts above their nominal 1.5 (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic)

| Hi all, (...) This reminds me of a series of vehicles that my friend Robin and I made, oh, 15 or so years ago now. We were building remote-controlled cars, using a bunch of batteries taped together for power, and a car speedometer cable to steer (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic)

| Yes, nice job. Well done! (...) If you're going for a real power puller, then a ratio of 24:1 sounds good. But beware! You'll be getting into gear-breaking torques. Be sure to use the new style 24t gears, if you should need 24t gears. I agree with (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic)

| Nice job Simon! I always like watching these machines at the airport too, did the spec sheets you received state what sort of horsepower and max speed these things have? As for the power problem, two 9V gear motors should be able to drive a machine (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Well, we know that the CGI models and artwork for the original Toa took plenty of liberties with joints and range of motion that don't exist in the actual toys. I'm going to assume that remains the case until proven otherwise. (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
