Hi all, Had my camera back so figured I'd upload a video of the new PF controller controlling some old 9V stuff. It's hooked to an original PF battery box, don't have he new one and haven't tested the old 9V b-box. (URL) (15 years ago, 21-Apr-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)

(...) That's not a bug- it's a feature. The point is to protect the motor from damage. That said, I bet if you used two clutch gears you'll get twice the allowable torque. I don't recommend it- but you could try it and see what you think. (15 years ago, 17-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)
