They were about as fast as the standard 9V motor, but less powerful.
To move larger models you needed the 872 gearbox set.
It wasn't the voltage that gave it so little power... the 12v motor (as in
880) is just as strong (or weak)
Also there were two 4.5v motors... one for the old connectors, without the
plastic center pin, and one with the plastic center pin. The change was made
around 1985 I think.

| (...) Okay I see; thanks for the information. The 12V motor is not any more powerful than the 4.5V one? That's strange...I wonder why it was released at the same time as the 4.5V one (when it was nearly identical to it); the only other difference (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
