Well, I tried and tried and all inside the motor seams clean and in good condition but the motor still doesnt work. But I learned a lot and now`ll buy a new one on this bricklink-site. Thanks a lot for your help! Matthias

Thanks a lot for your quick answers. Banging the motor didnt work. So I opened it carefully and had the same insight like on the photos. @allanp: do I understand it right,that the tiny metal contacts must NOT contact theirselves but only contact the commutator? (in my case, the tiny ones have contact theirselves, but on the spanish site, I understand it so, that this provoces a short circuit, or?) Im quite noob with electrical stuff :). Thanks for the link to bricklink. Quite expensive these motors are, but if it doesnt work, I will have to buy one. Seems irreplacable for certain things. Regards, Matthias

Hello, I am new here and quite new to Lego Technic. When I was a teen, my cousin gave me some Technic-Sets, but I had to say, I never fell in love with them for their abstract look, comparing to the lovely Legoland-Sets. So I never used the Technics-stuff :(. Now I am quite older, my children growing fast and I decided to dig out these Technic-Sets from the bottom of my basement. Things were still looking strange (all these connectors and beams and so on) so I tried to find help in the internet and finally found the marvellous technicopedia-Website. This site has such a lot of Technics-history, explanations for beginners like me and lots of reviews, I was so fascinated and I am now complaining a lot, never have given a chance to the technic bricks. But it should never be too late, so my daughter and I started building the 8856 Rescue Helicopter, later the 2nd model of the 8868-set (its a kind of garbage truck; very fascinating for me and the child) and now we wanted to try the Technic 8082 with 2 motors. We built the Dog (doesnt seem a rabbit nor a cat to me) and there is a red Mini-Motor, that doesnt seem to work. I tried to replace it by an bigger 9V-Motor (the old ones) but this one doesnt seem to work properly, because the pole-reverser changes too fast and the dog barely moves 2 seconds in one direction. Only for beeing sure: For testing I connected the Mini-Motor directly to the battery-box and it should work, right? Are these Mini-Motors still available or is there a way to repair it or is there another motor available, that has similiar specifications? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks a lot for any answer. And sorry for my english, I am from Berlin. Regards Matthias
