Remark that rechargeble batteries have a LOWER voltage (8.4V) than a regular
battery (9V). This causes a speed difference, and there's also some
tollerance om those toy motor speed too. Take a test with some train motors,
2 different locomotives (the same model !!) each with a motor. Run them with
the same speed regulator, and they will also catch up after a certain time.
