[QUOTE="Seahawks, post: 456546, member: 7516"] Picked up my first ever Sonic Landspeeder. Got a great deal on one, however when it arrived nothing worked. I've spent the last few nights working on it. There is actually very little info out there on repairing these surprisingly. Maybe it's because there aren't as many out there and they are a royal pain to work on. :) I've now got the motor running, the two small gears had hairline cracks so had to glue them, and the metal contact came off the black lever and had to be glued back on as well. It runs great now, but the clicker does not consistently activate the magnet which makes it turn. All of the wires appear connected to the circuit board, but it's very possible that is the problem. If that's the issue, then that may be beyond my abilities. Still is in great shape though and for the price I got it, I can't complain too much. I also never realized how much larger it is compared to the standard one.
