Hi Tobbe,

My guess is that your friend actually got one 43362 and one 71427, the
latter beeing enclosed in a 43362 case. If you look at 43362 enclosure photo
(http://www.philohome.com/motors/case.jpg), you see that there are 4 plastic
pins in corners that are used to secure 71427 core to the box. So Lego can
use the same case for two different products ! The proof to that: the two
black holes on back are missing from the freely running motor while they are
required to hold the brushes of 43362 core motor.

This is not a good thing for your friend : the weight of these motors is
somewhat different (28g vs 42g), 43362 rotates slightly slowlier and stops
sooner. This probably render a simple differential drive equipped with both
motor types almost unusable (needs to be tested though !)

A friend brought a newly bought DACTA set, 9793 Mindstorms for schools, today
and it contains two 43362 motors. These are not the same:

The one without the "backholes" spins like the older geared motor, for aprox
six seconds given a twist on the shaft, the other one for but one second...

The mystery deepens...

I conducted a quick test with one 71427-002 and one 43362 (with new internals), put them back to back with a 8462 wheel on each axel and a 9V small (...)
