My 4.5v motors are 30 years old and have been subjected to first 4.5v (of
course) then 12v on a regular basis. They still work fine today though I have
had them apart for oiling and re-bushing. I cannot think of a toy available
that will take that kind of abuse!
Back to 4.5v these days (can't replace these easily).
