I hope the Technic motors never goes out of production, actually I hope they
start to produce more of the old 9V electric motor without gearing. Or
better, the old 4.5v style motors, they had a better speed.

I have put 20pcs Technic brick 1x16 with holes (part #3703) on my weight
and that was 112grams (5.6gram pr pcs). And 20 pcs Technic Liftarm 1x15
straight (part #32278) and that was 88grams total (4.4gram pr pcs)
That is not much diffrent when you HAVE to add a few technic pins on each
Liftarm to connect it to another liftarm.

The new valves and new pistons was an improvment of the old one. But
replacing liftarms for technic brick is not good. Maybe I'm just a tad
oldfashion but I like the bricks better then liftarms.

Well, we need more ways to use electric parts but I hope not the old ones
disapears, they could actually live side by side since one pieces has some
advantage above the other whatever way you look at it.

Hope not....
More liftarms yes, but not all liftarms and no bricks.
