Go to Post Eventually, the "less effective" tweaks will settle to the bottom, and the more effective ones will be assimilated by the group. Then someone will tweak the tweak. That's when the fun begins. - Billfred [more]

Re: 6V F-P Motors - What have you changed?

We'll use '04 FP motors which are now legal as per Team Update 10. Also, we will trade the 6v motors for 12v motors with 13t pinions. We can use them as spares, or can use them if we find that we want to "gear down" our arm.

By the way, does anyone know what the 6v ones are used for? I thought all the FP cars used 12v batteries.
