The LEGO Technic Motor Box 8287-1 enhances existing models with crucial mechanical functionality. This supplemental set provides a robust motor and battery box, forming the core power source for intricate Technic creations. It includes a comprehensive selection of functional components such as useful gears, cross-axles, and a specialized torque-limiter. Further mechanical depth comes from the integrated cardanic joint and a differential, allowing for complex power transmission and steering systems. Designed for seamless integration, the Motor Box provides all necessary elements to motorize LEGO sets 8284 and 8285. The motor requires six AA (1.5v) batteries for operation, which are not included with the set.
