Hi guys, i am new here, and a bit of noob at Lego in general, so am not sure if this topic has been raised before.
I bought 8287-1 a while back (this one), and recently i got the new PF components.
This led me to wonder if i could control the old motor with the IR RC functions.
So i did a bit of digging and experimentation, found out that of the 4 wires from the PF plugs, if i connected the middle 2 to the poles of the old motor, i can get the motor to respond to the IR remote (through the receiver of course).
But the problem is i currently have the wires taped to each other, and thats proving to be a bit of a loose connection. Was thinking of soldering the wires, but am afraid of damaging the parts, especially the older motor and the wire for it. Anyone thought about a solution to this? or suggest any ways to solve the problem?
