I have another trick to improve your engines/motors. If you take a close look
at the motor wheels you see there are small round rubber bands. You can
exchange the original ones against the rubberbands used in the Lego bicycles.
Those are a little bit thicker in their diameter. And if you take two of the
cheap telekom bikes for each motor, the bikes will look more like racing bikes
because of the smaller tyres... ;-))
You will be suprised who much stronger your engines become (especially without
extra weight and at sloped track sections. Any feedback is welcome - I did
this with as many engines as I had bikes available.
Kind Regards,
Ben
P.s.: has anybody around some dozens of bicycles? I would need them to upgrade
all my engines since each two motors engine needs 4 bikes for this upgrade.
