Takanuinuva Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) How many studs tall is the Power functions Battery box. I want to hide it in my Lego train so it won't stick out. This is the battery box I'm talking about http://shop.lego.com...attery-Box-8878 Also is the rechargable battery box the same size as the AAA battery box Edited March 8, 2013 by Takanuinuva Quote

The rechargable and AAA box are the same size.

Thats a good question, until just now when I pulled one of each out of my trains to double check that fact, I always assumed they were Thank you. But I've decided to not do it since it would make the engine to long since it would also have the ir reciver in it. Is it possible to run a train just using 88000 power functions AAA battery box. and 88002 power functions train motor. Would the train go when I turned the battery box on. I'm asking since I don't own these functions and I'm working on my train in Ldd. And how many studs tall is 88002 power functions train motor not counting the pin connector http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/LEGO-Power-Functions-Train-Motor-88002 Edited March 8, 2013 by Takanuinuva Quote
Spitfire2865 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Yes it would go if you turned it on. But it would go full speed and probably derail in corners. The motor bogie is the same size as the 9V motor. If that helps... Quote

If that helps... What you're saying is completely wrong ;-) The rechargable battery box has a speed-control (current-wheel) that controls speed. So Takanuinuva, you will not need the IR receiver in order for your train to go at different speed becuase the speed is controlled directly at the orange dial on the battery box. Quote

He said AAA battery box. Not rechargable. Youre correct the rechargeable has the wheel. Not the AAA box. That only has a switch. I have both types so I know. Quote

Takanuinuva Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 If the AAA box has a speed control. That would be better than using the Ir reciever. Quote
OleBM Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 If the AAA box has a speed control. That would be better than using the Ir reciever. As me and spitfire has sorted out; the rechargable one has a speed control, NOT the regular AAA box ;) haha ;) Both have the same size though. Quote

Spitfire2865 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Well if you are getting the rechargeable box, then you are looking at about 55 USD more than just the AAA box. (Taking into account the box is 50 USD and the charger is around 15-20 USD.) Sorry I dont have actual prices, Im not in the mood to go on Legos website. Ill start thinking about spending more money.

You need to allow for 5 studs of height for the battery box to allow the PF wire to plug in. I found this out whe testing the fit for my Mikado's tender. The plug, IIRC, is 2 1/2 plates high on top of the battery box, and you can not attach plates to the top of it. Sal WFB, WI Quote
