Thanks Mike and ILTCO!
Something just occurred to me and maybe I’m just clueless, but it appears to me
that the wheels on the green croc are new, a la BBB small wheels, using a
technic axle. Does the ICE train use the same wheel type? And if not, then I
assume that the wheels come off the motor block easily. What occurred to me is
that these remote control motors could be used in many other applications by
replacing the train wheels with gears, essentially turning the “train” motor
into a generic remote controlled motor.
Or am I missing something here?
