9V motors are quite easy to disassamble and reassamble, all you need is a
screw driver. I guess that is clear by now.
And yes there is a little room in the box which I just used in my latest
MOC - I added something this time just for testing, but went fairly easy. It
took me 2 evenings to make it fit in size, cause I did not want to glue it.
I should have some pictures up by the end of this month.
My next project is to keep the motor in the box but disconnect the
connection to the wheels, and the add some electronics to it.
So far the easiest way seems to be to add two (three) 12V outlets on the
motor, one for power out the other for powering the motor. The electronics
will be in the engine.
I have been thinking about using springs for picking up 12V on a 9V motor,
this is also a part of this which I will try to do in autum.
The idea is to use a H-bridge to power the motor and some other stuff which
I am still thinking about.
Tervitades,
