I have built another pneumatic compressor and pressure switch; I believe both are improvements on the previous designs.

I have used the Micromotor for many applications. It is a very good steering motor for small cars. I use it to drive axes on my machines. It will not steer a large model like the 8448 super car. That requires a gear head motor. I have many models on (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

I've just received a micro-motor, and had planned to have it activate the steering on a RCX vehicle I built, but it won't with enough force to reach full camber. What are these motors typically used for? thanks! scott (25 years ago, 11-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)
