| | | I finally have a new motor; it's the 90% efficiency industrial motor I was talking about earlier; I managed to get it for 50€. Surprisingly, the technic gears almost fit perfectly on the axle. When putting a technic 16 tooth gear on it and running (...) (21 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | While that automatic transmission looks very good indeed, I don't think it's very well suited to this kind of car. I also wouldn't have enough parts to build it into the chassis.
