Default Can a small 3v motor be tied into a Miggle motor?

I was thinking about ways to make my 620 faster (after I get out the crowns). Does anyone know if it is possible to wire a 3v motor into the motor that comes with the game? I'm thinking that I could attach a small motor to the opposite corner and wire it into the Miggle motor. Then when I flip the switch, both motors will turn on giving me greater speed.

Default Hello

It will not work. But I can tell you that with one 3 volt motor it is strong enough for a 620. You can add a switch and rheostat box to control the speed and turn the motor on and off.

Why won't it work and what can I do to make it work? Does the 2nd motor need its own rheostat?

Default 3 volt

The motor is 3 volt. The motor of the board is running on 120 v. Two different type of motor.

Boy does this sound familiar..

Finally get a new 620 adjusted right on the money.. no crowns.. perfect..

And then you turn the motor on.. and it's suffocated...

Best bet is to get on ebay and buy and old 620.. or find someone in here who has one to sell...

Default or...

The best thing to do is just win an auction on ebay for an old gotham game,
and use that motor. They attach easily...and they rock on a 620!

Default SO MUCH EASIER TO SHOW YA IN PERSON

If you're coming to the Miggle Con, Michigan Joe and I can show you a plethera of options for motors. But if you're somewhat handy you easily splice in another Tudor-like motor. Good Luck.
