Replacement Mabuchi motor for 9v trains

[alainneke]

Thanks, I'll try modding a couple of RC motors then!

Almost forgot, you can check out page 41 of Railbricks 6 for tips and tricks on how to cut the shaft to the right length and get the gears on.

It's an example using an old 4.5/12v motor casing, but the principal is similar and the replacement motor he is using is the Motraxx263.

Obviously leave the shorter shaft intact for the RC/PF motors as you'll need both.

RC motors have the worst performance out of all 3 types.

Best is the newer PF motor.

the internals on all 3 motors are the same but there is no point using the RC motor unless u have one around you dont need but it will give you not the best running performance.

I am replacing any of my dead 9v internals with PF internals.

PF motors new go for about $9US what is CHEAP and little work is needed to swap over.
