Must have for lego trains.
" I don't think I can add anything new on top of previous reviews, so I'll just add one of my tips.
You can use a size 014 o-ring or similar (I've used multiple sizes, but found 014 to run smoothest) to replace the clear rings lego provides with these motors. The increased surface area allows the train to grip better and ride softer.
Also, thank you to the guy who recommended using two motors and a switch. It was a very good tip. "

Cost effective option vs the rechargeable pack
" This battery box is a good cost effective option vs the lego rechargeable battery pack. You can buy this and a set of low self discharge nimh batteries, such as sanyo eneloops, for a much less than the rechargeable lithium pack lego sells.
You won't get as much punch as the lego rechargeable pack, but its not like you're going to be racing these trains anyways... or are you... (evil grin). If speed is a priority, get the rechargeable pack. It has a 2s lipo @ 7.4v nominal vs 7.2v nominal of the 6-cell nimh AAA pack. Of course, you could run normal alkaline or lithium AAA's @ 1.5v a pop for 9v to start, but that won't last long.
On a side note, If you're handy with a soldering iron and have some electrical know how, you can rig up your own 2s lithium pack for the train and drop it into the pack for less money. Then use your own lipo charger. If you're into R/C or computers, then this might be a viable option, as you should have most of the tools at your disposal already. "
