Greetings all Recently i bought an used 9volt motor on Bricklink that is showing a problem i havn't yet encountered, or even heard of for that matter. The motor refuses go on a straight track. At first i thought that i had put a to heavy test-train on the motor and tapped it gently from behind to see if i got any reaction from it. I was rather surprised when it jumped to action as soon as it hit a curve, only to stop again at the next straight track piece. Building a loop containing only curves i was able to pull the main model of 'Hobby train' and the 2 'Mearsk' cars for some 30 mins without any problems whatsoever so the motor obviously isn't weak. I guess the Lego curves are sligtly narrover than the straights and that's why it looses connection. Have anyone else run into this problem and figured out a solution? Could i use it in tandem to a normal motor to pull the 'Santa fe' for example and let the flawed motor drag on the straights or would such actions couse one of the motors to burn out? Would be greatful for any help. Regards skinkfem
