Re: Uses for FP Motors?

The FPs could be used for drivetrain, just I wouldn't recommend that they are the only motors in the drivtrain. If you couple their power with those from the CIM or CIM "Mini-bikes" you could produce quite a powerful drivetrain.

It's more than just a few watts, the CIM is 337 Watts at max Power and the FP is 172 Watts a Max Power. But with the AM Planetary or other form a gearing, you can match their output speeds. The question is really if 2 CIMs per transmisison is neccessary for this year, perhaps 1 CIM and 1 FP is enough, or even 1 CIM and 1 miniBike motor (270 Watts Max, and there's an AndyMark adapter for those now too!)?

Re: Uses for FP Motors?

Consider these threads that are related to how to use FP motors:

Low Cost Planetary Gearbox Source...

Adding FP Motor to '05 KOP Transmission

There is a lot of good information in those threads, especial the bits near this picture:


Man, I'm a handsome devil, aren't I? ;-)

Actually, you can't use any Fisher-Price motor, unless you know it to be the exact same type. (The same goes for all motors, so that they can be classified as spares.) The 2002 and 2003 motors are definitely different from the ones in the 2006 kit, but I'm pretty sure that the 2004 and 2005 motors are also of different specifications, and therefore not allowed. It's a simple matter to check the old spec. sheets; if the model number doesn't match, you'd better ask FIRST if they'd care to issue an update allowing you to use them.

Re: Uses for FP Motors?

ok back in 04' I believe some teams modified the fp to speed them up. Would anyone be willing to point me in the right direction? I have searched the old docs but with no luck.

It's impossible to legally modify a motor to "speed it up". What you may be referring to is the fact that the motors FIRST gave us in 2005 weren't designed to run at 12v (Were they 9V or 6V?). Some teams decided to run them at the full 12V and run the risk of frying them, while some teams just operated them at the reccomended voltage.

That's not an issue this year, as the FP motors are designed for 12V.
