I think you're reading too much into what's probably a translation from the
original. It says 'remote control', not 'controller' anyway. 6 for the train,
yes. I didn't see inside the remote of David's preview one, but 3 AAs giving
you 4.5V sounds more likely than 13.5V. It certainly didn't weigh enough to
have had 9 AAs in it.
As a thought, the IR is pretty weak, but I'm sure a decent learning remote could
deliver a brighter signal.
