I figured out 4WD/4WS two years ago :+) It also has a working differential so that when one wheel gets off the ground, the other will still get traction. Check it out: (URL) this model does not do, but could easily have, is a differential between (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

Just wanted some information on the old 4.5V motor that was used in Technic models until about 1989 or 1990. It appears that the 8050, 8054, 8055 and 8700 sets coame with this type of motor. What is the general rotational speed of it? (is it really (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

It should be simple enough to do, too. Just a solenoid controlling a valve piece molded into a piece of plastic, and with a power attachment on top of it for the control pulses. It might require a bit of fiddling with on-neutral-off settings, maybe (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
