Any secrets to big scores? I owned one up until two weeks ago and my best was like 3.5 million, I found the game tough to do well on.

Quoted from beepnutz:

3.5 would be a good score, normal about 1 - 3 mil on mine and about 6 mil to get your name up. You have to fight the Road King and make as many shots as possible under the right ramp during 2 ball for high scores. Right outlane is a killer, gotta do some nudging. Mark Ritchie design, I like most all his games as much as his brothers.
Bob

That is pretty much how I played it. I tried to maximize my bonuses as well, love the four rollover locations, kinda like a modern Stern. I am a huge Mark Ritchie fan, although this one feels different than his other designs.

Bob (or someone else), would you be able to snap a quick pic of the flasher board under the playfield with the resistors on it for the left lightning bolt? I replaced the resistors with what I thought was correct values from the online manual, but it was a little hard to read. I know they tend to run hot, but these feel a lot hotter than the right lightning bolt.

Thanks robertmee, I just sent the info to ralphwiggum that he requested and discovered one of my ceramic resistors was broken in the same spot he mentioned.

Thanks again!

Seems pretty common for these resistors to get nice and toasty and work themselves from the board...
