Description:

These new motor bogies feature high-performance coreless motors that match the dimensions of Tenshodo bogies but offer greater power. They are ideal for motorizing railcars, such as those from Atlas.

Main Features:

  • Two models: Version 4 with axle shafts resting directly on the chassis; Version 5 using bearings.
  • Version 4 requires ABS printing, while Version 5 can be printed in PLA.
  • Height reduced by 3 mm to match Tenshodo dimensions.
  • Cost under €7 compared to €48 for Tenshodo.

Contents:

  • The bogie itself
  • A cover
  • A lower casing protecting the gears
  • A pin for attaching to the railcar chassis

Note: The mounting bracket for the railcar chassis is not included.

3D Printing: Recommended FDM printing with 0.2 mm nozzle and 0.1 mm layer height.
