A state of panic came over HFR headquarters just two days before shipping during a practice session(one of our few). During a driving session, one of our drill motor transmissions started going click-click-click, to the point that we were just sitting there spinning around...we had to rush to the local hardware store to get a replacement motor so we could keep practicing and not have to switch out a non-kit motor in Chicago, when we got a replacement...
: What are people finding to be breakage-prone, as the Regionals go forward? There were a number of posts here before we all put our machines in the crates, discussing problems with new components - Victors and Fisher-Price drive trains, in particular. How are those components holding up in the heat of battle? We're still in that antsy limbo land waiting for our first regional in Hartford next week, getting anxious about what problems to anticipate. So come on, those of you past the butterflies and into the bruises and bandages - what's breaking?
