Hi guys, Thanks for all the input. I'm currently grabbing some more parts to play with this, and also grabbing an XL motor. Clearly I will need at least one of these in my inventory. Splat, that was a very convincing argument to buy the XL motor. That said, Mescalinum and Timr, I'll throw a test chassis together to lu lethe 2 M motors and report back the findings. Cheers and thanks, Stardust56

Hi all, I'm new around here, having returned to a passion of 20 years ago after the 'dark ages'. Technic trucks grab my fancy, with 1:17.5 scale being where I am to do a bit of modeling. I've started back with the heavy tow truck 8285, the crane truck 8421 and a technic formula one car. Most recently, the Excavator 8043 has arrived on my doorstep. I'm quite taken by the detail of 2legoornot2lego's trucks and trailers, and having a look around, I see that most build using XL motors for the driveline function. My question is 'can I couple 2 M motors (from the excavator) to operate the driveline in the 8285 Tow Truck?' You help is appreciatedin advance. Cheers from DownUnder, Brett
