@Lok24 have you had any 88008 failures?
-
https://www.flickr.com/photos/30673753@N05/ It wasn't the internal gearing that failed, rather the DC motor itself. It will rotate in one direction but not the other. The 'propeller' can be popped off the rear shaft. Replacement motors appear to be for sale on AliExpress but I need to double check measurements next week. https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-rf%252d300-dual.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.search.0

I've had my second 88008 Medium Linear Motor failure in 4 years. I assume it's the internal gearing. The first runs one way, but not the other. The second runs fine in one direction and clicks in the other. It's hard to quantify, but I wouldn't say I run them particularly hard. Has anyone take one apar?

I’m not planning to get into 9v, so my take my opinion with a grain of salt, but 9v motors replicate something that’s already available. Power pickups open up new use cases. 9v powered PF for multiple train operation and medium/large motors for more torque and realistic speeds

I'm interested to see what replaces Powered Up, but seeing as the firmware on the new Porsche hub is signed and PyBricks cannot be installed, I'm not very hopeful. I just got a hub, remote and a few extra bits for a good price second hand. I need to keep an eye out for more, as well as 88008 motors.

Checked the half priced hubs in the morning, sold out by the noon when I went to order. I’d be using custom/third party electronics if anything existed like the rotation sensor motors and PiD control
-
Looks very interesting, do you have an operations schedule/plan?
-
Ropefish, your image is not available. Are you able to replace it?
-
That's good to hear, I just need to wait for my parts to arrive now :D
-
Thank you. You have no problem with the top gear meshing?
-
Do you have an operations plan?
-
Thanks Faph, I'm trying to gear down my Boost motor loco. I'm waiting for parts to arrive but I'm trying out some different configurations in Stud.io. I'm assumed the gears need to be supported from both ends to stop them slipping.

I think he is using 12t bevels and only drives the front axle. It looks like you’re using 12t-16t, but only supported on end of the axles? Then I assume another 12t at the bottom?
-
What gearing are you using?

Sorry for the late reply! The reason I asked was because I had trouble with my BR 08 (0-6-0) binding when driving only the rear axle and using side rods. I had better results driving the middle axle but I ended up driving the front and middle axle. This YouTuber managed to fit 88008 motor in there.
