Re: Repair Thread

ohhh... it's THAT type of pin... heating it up is one method. The only risk you run is warping the horns. You can avoid this one of 2 ways. 1, be extra careful not to heat it up too much, and just...

Re: Repair Thread

don't think it will work as before, but if you have a strong glue, it might be worth a try. but i really don't think glue will fix it. it's prob best to replace the part.

if you use some sort of filler, then paint it, it would work.

Re: Repair Thread

the seeker one is prob a mis aligned pin. I have that issue with my Classics cliffjumper. If it looks alright in both robot mode and Alt, I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: Repair Thread

use either clear nail polish or a coating of Krazy Glue. not remover. It basically adds an extra layer to the ball joint and makes it thicker.

if there is some pin sticking out, have you tried yanking it out with some vice grips.

paint thinner works alright. Make sure what ever you use it is Acetone Free.

Re: Repair Thread

metal strip, unless you can make another one that is identical, it's best to just find the part from a junker Tracks.

The Arm Problem could be fixed by adding a bit of clear nail polish, or a thin...

Re: Repair Thread

I'm going to say just a small bottle of flat black paint from the hobby store. just a quick dab is all you need.

Re: Repair Thread

glue alone might not be strong enough, you can attempt to take a small screw with a wide head or a washer on it and put it into the ball, tighten it so it's flush with the base of the inside of the...

Re: Repair Thread

Bast bet is to put a thread in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum, telling what parts you need, and see what people have, or go on ebay for Parts lots. If you have a broken part that needs to be repaired, Post...

I think I've got it. the center of the chest, with the purple and the truck grill, there seems to be 3 indents on the left pin. What if the spring goes inside the white thing and goes in the side of...

Re: Repair Thread

there is a bit of spring action to the foot. a bit more force may be needed to fully pop the ball back in the socket. otherwise you can put a thin layer of clear nail polish on the ball, let it dry...
