After a quick search on brickshelf I found that very few people actually use
the pullback motors in their creations.
Oden has a couple of
nifty models, but that was all I could find. (Although I remember a land
rover model being powered by one a while ago.)
|
They do seem to be shunned by afols for some reason. I think they add a lot
of fun to a model. My son and I sometimes build quick cars with the little
ones and have a hoot crashing them into each other, or putting skinny wheels
on and watching them spin crazily around the room. Timber floors help -
they’re hopeless on carpet. I’ve
used the larger ones
a couple of times in mocs.
|
Damn, I shouldn’t have forgotten that one. I especially liked how you managed to
put suspension in there.
| |
They’re about right, but a little weak. I like them, but it doesn’t take much
to exceed the weight limit that they’re able to push around at a reasonable
speed.
|
You’ve got a point there. One can’t really make bigger vehicles for the engines
than the size of the original model they’re in. (If that makes any sense) I do
quite like the 8383 motor, I believe it’s the
strongest one out there.

Just about
anybody I’ve spoken to about the pullback motors said something like “they
should’ve done that ages ago!” or “I would’ve played ages with these if I
would’ve had those when I was a kid!”
|
Really? What about this one? This is actually a fair bit
quicker across the floor than the current versions.
|
You’ve got me there, heh. I actually vaguely remember
which was owned by some relatives of mine. However, the new ones who let you
include your own wheels / technic axles, and the ones that are for
minifig-sized fun are just a bit
more versatile in my opinion.
