JF8 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Hi there I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I'm wondering I have the motorised bulldozer plus 2 xl motors and another reciever and for some reason I can't run more than 1 motor at a time without the power being cut to them (and the motors slowing to a small crawl) and even with just 1 xl motor connected it dosent take much load for the same to happen, I only have 1 battery box - the one from the dozer. Any else experienced a similar problem? Could it be the battery box? Quote
The Ghost Racer Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Try using 6 1.5V batteries (not rechargeable). If you don't solve the problem, try to add another battery box and attack the ir receivers separately. Quote
JF8 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Yeh tried all that its as if the overload protection is kicking in at too low a current or something so ill probs order another battery box when I order an l motor Quote
legomuppet9 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Battery boxes can run 2XL, 4M or 1XL and 2M at the same time before the overload protection kicks in. It may be a problem with your receiver also... Quote
JF8 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 I have 3 recievers in total and they all have the same effect, also I assume the motors sitting unused for a long period of time would not affect them Quote
bricky300 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Then it will probably be the battery box, there are sometimes some faulty ones. Simply swap it for another one or if you don't have another one, call the lego customer service, report them your problem and they will send you a new one (maybe you have to send them your faulty).

Lego does not provide per set out of production.Checks to see if the contacts for the batteries are not oxidized or try using rechargeable batteries with high amperage, I generally use batteries from 2100 mAh to 3800 mAh.
