1. How to work 8879 remote

   

   Discussion by Judy · November 11 · Home› Building and Techniques

   Please pardon my lack of understanding. I have bought my grandson 8879 remote for his lego motors but don't understand what else I need to make it work. He does not have a particular set, he just uses parts to build amazing vehicles. Can someone help me please.

   Hi all, big thanks to your quick replies, it’s much appreciated. Bandit778, those links are really helpful thank you Panchox1, thank you, I too went mad on the Christmas village and bought 4 scenes, some old retired sets. They were worth it seeing my granddaughters faces when they saw them set up as I also bought the light…

   You might want to hang on to that remote. There's many videos on You Tube where folks have strapped those two remotes together, using #8879 for speed and #8885 for steering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWtdYwbl9oA shows the dual remote at 25 seconds in

   You want #8879, #8884, #88000 and #88002. You don't need anything else. You can buy them individually, as a set or try to pick up a bargain used or new earlier train set with them included such as #60051. The instructions for the Winter Holiday Train include how to motorise with the components listed above.Have a look at…

The back of the box (#10254) indicates what you need: - #8879 IR Speed Remote Control - #8884 IR Receiver - #88000 AAA Battery Box - #88002 Train Motor As other have pointed out, it is probably a better deal to get one of the current City trains: #60051, #60052, #60098 (the first two are usually on discount). You will…

   Welcome @Kurtis570 ! :) From the sounds of it, you've bought #8293 Motor Set, which includes #8881 AA battery box. Whilst you can use that battery box for trains, it is, as you say, more geared towards technic models, and won't really fit in most trains very well. What you ideally need is the following: - #8879 Speed…

   Comment by ecmo47 · November 2015 · Home› Building and Techniques

   Power functions are not hard to figure out. First of all, both sets of instructions show you exactly how to hook in a motor and battery box. On both, the gearing takes care of the proper speed and all you have to do is turn the battery box on and off. You could run both motors of the same battery box if desired. If you…

   There are instructions for using Power Functions in the train contained in the instructions for it. The online copy of the instructions is on the page for it here: #10254 but I've also linked it directly here. The instructions also tell you what you need. Basically, you need #8879, #8884, #88002 and #88000. You can use…
