• The motor:
  
  It’s a standard windup motor (more on that later). Once you put the piece on the windup knob, the mechanism is completely hidden. Last pic is some crappy phone vidya, showing how it works.
• Painters beware:
  
  Part #10 slides over the gun barrels and is a pretty tight fit. I’m not sure how you’d go about painting this.
• Watch where you cut that:
  
  The gate marks for part #15 here are right on the little bolts, so watch out!
• Finishing up:
  
  1) The ammo box can go on either side. 2) If you leave these parts off (made for the hands of Giant Human Like Battle Robots), you may have more options for mounting the gatling on Zoids.
• But wait, there’s more!
  
  Since the motor is a standard windup motor, you can use the TS motor. It just takes one tiny cut (or a ton of more intricate ones I’m too lazy to figure out). The only downside is the huge gap in the back, where the windup knob should be. I’d like to be able to run the wire through there, but I haven’t looked into it yet.
• It works!
  
  And here’s the crappy phone vidya to prove it.

Looking at all the reviews on the internets, it is painfully clear that I am missing a pic of this with the barrels spinning in a lovely motion blur. I will see what I can do about this!

Making my own swap was not enough, once I saw the clear green motor and black inner frame. I also finally found a semi-good deal on ebay (although everytime someone buys one, the NEXT one he lists costs $10 more to ship).

In other news, Valga reminds me of an updated Robocaterpilas.
