latestarter Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I was running my 'Aberdonian' today and it started making a click noise from the wheels/rods. It then froze completely and hasn't moved since. The wheels also do not rotate at all when pushed by my fingers. I have had an issue with the rods jamming in the past, but can usually see where they are overlapping or have come out of a 'slot'. I can't see anything amiss right now. If anyone could look at the photos and tell me if they can see the cause, I'd be very grateful! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. I tried to flatten it the best I could, and it's running very smoothly now. Tips on how to get it very flat, would be much appreciated. Thanks again for the help :) Edited June 24, 2022 by latestarter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I had a similar thing with one I bought. It only did about a lap of the layout and then jammed and lunched itself. Needless to say it went straight back! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
