I have this part (from <set:8855>) and I have been unsuccessful in my attempts
to power it to any significant speed. The problem is that the prop and z24 gear
are permanently molded to a 3L axle which goes through a 1x4 Technic beam.
Having only one bearing point (the 1x4 beam) for the prop axle allows too much
"wobble." Trying to drive it at high speed results in LOTS of friction (in my
experience). I have not had the heart to cut it apart and modify it to try to
overcome this problem.

| (...) Have you considered using lubricant between the 1x 4 beam and axle? I know I did, many times, but never got around to do it. Do you think it might reduce the friction enough? (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
