It looks like there could be a need for me to get my Dremel out and try my
hand at modifying train motors. I have an idea about trying to make the
wire go up through the center peg on the top of the motor. I’d like to do
that without opening the train motor, so my first attempt will be to cut a
groove from the electric plate end to the middle post on the top and use a
LEGO wire. Don’t know how that’s going to affect the technic pin if I cut
away too much on one side to fit the wire inside without threading that
wire through a small hole in the side of the pin instead and then snapping
it back into the 2x2 electric connector.

Oh crap, that won’t work. There’s simply no way to get a 2x2 electric
connector through a technic hole without quantum physics. I guess I could
attach a 2x4 technic plate and leave it on the train pin.

You could do what I did in my track pickup experiments, cut the wire, and use a
c100x2 connector to re-attach them later. The C100 sockets just fit through a
technic pin.

The picture shows a
pair if sockets without the plastic shell. But if you use the pins on a header
strip, they just fit through a technic hole.
Personelly I’m in favor of popping the motor open, and directly attaching the
wires.
