    So if you connect one of tese hacked cables to a Lipo battery pack, which is around 11 volts, you vill get alot more power out of the PF motors? Or do you need to program the SBrick as well?

    Is that 10-Ohm cable something you make yourself? And how?

But my focus is mostly on the over carridge, an to get the arm movement, and speed, and strong enough. That mean as less gear as possible. The SBrick will be perfect when I cat adjust the speed on the motors, and give them more power. I´m just wondering about what type of battery pack that will be best to use... Suggestions?

      Tamás Fábián SBrick has to be used with a standard PowerFunctions extension cable. You can attach it to LEGO's LiPo battery pack, PF battery pack, or old-style battery packs or 9V train power supplies.

      SBrick has to be used with a standard PowerFunctions extension cable. You can attach it to LEGO's LiPo battery pack, PF battery pack, or old-style battery packs or 9V train power supplies.

      Since SBrick can carry subtatially more current than LEGO's battery packs can supply, you can even try to build your own pack from a 2 cell LiPo battery and PF extension cable. Please only do this if you're experienced builder, since these batteries usually have no current limiting, and can ignite and/or explode if shorted.

      We had no trouble driving multiple XL and RC motors on a single channel, but we're yet to test the practical current limit. The silicon in theory can support up to 3A continuous current on each channel, however this figure is not realistic considering the thickness of the cables and the fact the electronics is enclosed by a plastic housing that provides little heat sinking capacity.  less

I am new on this forum, because I red about this SBrick, and This is what I have been waiting for in years. I am building an material handler (Excavator). I am not finnish yet, but clos. This maskin is based on the 8043 model, but with my own enginerings and idea. Because I am an operator on these maschines in daily basis, I now how it shall works. And the SBricks is perfect for this machine. I will post som fotos soon. I am from Norway, and hope for some ideas from you guys  less

      Paolo DGZ Interesting project, you will use the same 360 degree system for the tracks? I know it ih isn't really accured, you should use the old differential instradare of the clutch gear
