This part is in Technic section, "Connector" subsection. Right-click on the small subsection headings (with the red cross) to get the second page where connector section lies. You may also get the part from its number by typing it with an * in the search box (here *32039)

I have several other opened LEGO stuff in my Brickshelf gallery, including the 2838 motor (images and opening procedure courtesy of Jochem Wildenberg). Hope it helps...

Mmhhh... looks like we need to either update the installer or to put a big warning there! As for parts count, LDD has about 1800 parts while LDraw is around 6500 (including unofficial parts). But these raw figures are very unfair, as each patterned piece count as a part in LDraw, while 1800 LDD parts figure mean 1800 different shapes.

LPub binaries were recently added to Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpub4/files/

Your LDraw library is not up-to-date, 52036 was released in 2009-02 parts update

Problem is to measure what you want and not something else. It's rather easy to pull a weight, but pushing it up while keeping it balanced is not so easy (friction in external guiding). A lever would probably be the way to go... The other issue is that - as any indirect measurements - precision might be low.

Great to see you around, Tobbe Interesting thread indeed. Shows it would be useful to get more practical data!

Yes, something I should test and write up somewhere... Indeed. Il all depends on the LB1836M motor driver. If you look at datasheet, you'll see that the driver is rated 400mA per channel. But the real limitation is the incorporated thermal shutdown. So you may go above this figure on one channel if the other is more or less idle, or for a short time (published curves stop at 550mA so this is a reasonable limit). Anyway, it is really sturdy, and I have yet to see one fail!

Thanks, corrected now!

My motors comparison page now includes tests of the E-motor from Renewable Energy Add-On Set (9688). Enjoy!
