hey Y'all,
Im wondering if anyone has had any experience with modifying the talking trains to make them go faster? I have a talking James that is now in pieces cause I wanted to swap out the motor. its much more complex then a standard train, with a lot more parts and i killed it! now that i am learning a bit more about all of this, I think perhaps there is a resistor limiting the power that goes to the motor? given that these guys run on 3 AAA batteries... i am guessing that the board that makes the 'talking' needs more than 1.5V so they use ~4.5V and then limit the juice that goes to the motor.
anyone have any experience with these?
Thanks!
