Hi, thanks for the feedback. I would prefer to use only lego elements but I am
on a budget so sometimes I have to improvise.
Regarding your comments about voltage, it works fine, and the motors do not get
hot or anything. I was also worried i might ruin them, but after trying it out
it seemed to work. I have been using the 12 volt power supply for a almost a
year and have not had any problems. I am not super knowledgable about
electronics but the extra voltage seems to give the motors a lot more power. .
the main winch for the shovel is incredibly strong, it has 4 of the new, clear
technic motors teamed up with a gearbox on two winch drums. I caught my finger
in the winch line once and boy did it hurt, hehe.
Thanks for your comments!
Ben
