Nice switch motors:) Are you planing selling some of those?

If you end up with a version that does not need to modify bricks anymore you could sell part sets and the electric parts as a kit. TLG should not have any problems with it then.

Hello All.

been wanting to do this quite a while and now got around to modding one of my switches. I have seen this idea done before and could only do it from pics but i have made up some videos. When i make my 2nd one up i will take some step by step shots.

Watch and comment

Thanks

Nice action on the switch, I also like the look when its all built on the base plate

Very nice

yup never took owner ship of it. Maybe should read before comment.

Hi all, I have been working on recreating the solution detailed above. I have been very luck to get the specs of the motor deejay used and it does work very well. So far I have made only one switch and a mock up of the controller to test things. I have to say it all works really well. I am trying to modify the least number of bricks in a way that does not involve too many tools to allow most people to have a go if they want remote switches.

Any way this is what i have so far, this is not the final version as the axle is a little off centre but it works well enough to prove the point.

forgot to say a big thanks to deejay for helping with the motor selection.

Very nice!!!

But I'm sorry I don't understand which motor do you use for this trick...

Can you tell in detail?

I did mine with RC car motors the ones out of scalectric cars. you can get these from hobby shops.

Thank you for the info.

Do you mean something like this ?

I used small motors I brought from Conrad. I can dig out the model if you like

bigfefi yes that should work fine

Thanks everybody. I'll explore more in detail!
