Hello fellow Eurobricks-Users, this is my first post here, after i revived my interest into lego. I recently got hold of 2 of the fabolous rc buggy-motors 5292 (resp. 8287) for 27 euro each. Judging by their exterior, both seem to be in good shape. Because so far, I only had the 9398-power functions, I could connect the motors only to an old battery box from the set 8287 with an 5306bc015 cable i got from amazon. So, the connections fit, and i have put 6 1,5 V AA Batteries (fresh from the store - no AAA) into the box and was looking forward to the amazing rpm-speed of the motors. Unfortunately, both behaved similarely: They started to spin for a second and then the speed decreased for another second; then they came to stop. I tested them separately. Although i do know about the huge power drain these 5292s have, I was pretty disappointed and thought that they were out of order. But I did get them from different sources (one seemed to be from a buggy-set and one came with the 8287-box), and they behaved similarely. Also, other threads for the 5292s provided info about the relatively good endurance these pieces have over time. Now, as I am new (again) to this field, I suspect that the failure may be the power from the batteries (maybe I should take the best and freshest ones?), but I exchanged them for different ones (from the same brand). Any clue or hint would be welcome! Thanks, Frootloop!
