I've tried to sift through a bunch of these posts, but didn't come across anything...

Has anyone had trouble with the coil brackets for the flippers breaking (where the stop screws on)?

I had a friend that operated his for a month or so and the upper right one broke. He ended up welding it.

I see that the Free Play site now has complete assemblies for $80 a piece. But, shipping is a killer.

If they seem to be problematic, I might get a left and a right for spares. Especially since it is such a different style mech than anything else.

Thanks for any advice.

Anyone know of a direct replacement for the backbox monitor? Mine has one pixel that is constantly white. It's by no means the end if the world... But, catches the eye every time you look up. I wouldn't mind replacing it and having a spare.

Thanks again everyone.

Anyone have a fix for the Xeno tongue binding? Seems to be worse at each end of it's travel. Most times, when it binds, the drive shaft spins inside the drive gear and there is no movement at all. Any fixes would be awesome.

Thanks everyone!

Quoted from Roostking:
I believe people are replacing the gear. I only commented to bump this up for the experts.

Any idea where they are getting the gear from? This is the last hiccup I have in my game (at least for now)!!

Quoted from knockerlover:
Assuming you have the later run stepper motor with the larger 5mm shaft (black square box vs metal with 12vdc motor) this RC car part will work.
ebay.com link
I should also note, replacing this.. sucks. Removing the head, taking the chassis apart, removing the old glued on gear.. take lots of pictures and make sure the kids aren’t within shouting distance or are wearing earmuffs.

Thanks for the info. Going to order that up right now. And I'll see if I can find some ear muffs!!
