Wowee wolf mod
Warning light weight side diversion. One night half asleep I decided to shop on eBay and purchased a Wowee wolf that was sold as broken; so, I bought it for to much money. The next day during the day I remember and cursed myself. It arrived today and I promptly skinned it.
Naked Wolf
So the seller speculated it was the switch that was the reason it was broken. As usual the battery box had acquired as case of AA herpes.
No AA wants to kiss that spring
Bypass the battery box.
The switch was not defective. Unfortunately I broke it trying to separate it from the plastic.
The power and switch are now wired to a 4 pin female IDC connector. Power it up with 4.5 volts from a DC wall adapter.
Amazing what you can do with two switches, cams, linkages and a single DC motor. Wowee genuis for sure.
