Hello All.
There is some talk at present about my right up I did for replacing the 9v internals with the PF internals.
This fix works perfectly fine, but some people have some of the older RC motors around and by no fault but my own. I ordered one by mistake so I thought I would try the same fix out with the RC motor.
For this 9v motor i did not need the PF cable and it is not a dual motor train, so the cons of the RC motor does not matter for me in this case. But to all who does not have any RC motors around and are looking at buying the RC or PF motor to fix an old 9v I would recommend always the PF motor over the RC.
1. The motors have been removed out of their housing, note the differences in the motors very slight but due to these we need to mod.
2. Now we want to remove some access plastic that will stop the motor sitting flush on the bottom of the 9v housing and also make it fit snug without modding the housing.
3. After being cut. note the plastic is very hard and will be a lot of work with a knife and maybe cost a finger. I recommend a cutting bit on a dremel.
4. Now with the motor installed, solder the two wires to the power pickups and do a test fit and run with a stranded 9v motor to make sure the direction is the same. If not just swap the wires around on the power pickups.
