trackmaster kevin and RC hiro - sunhuntin - 05-14-2016 these two arrived this morning. ive been after a loose kevin for several years, and had luck buying his flat decks for $5 in 2013. i finally saw listed kevin himself last week. i won him for $30, and then got an email from the seller saying she had tested him, and due to a corroded terminal and broken wire he did not go. did i still want him? of course i did, so negotiated a $10 refund. i dont have his load, so borrowed rocky's to show the magnet in his hook. the same seller also had an RC hiro listed, which i won for $36.50. he is said to work fine. so thats two fairly rare or expensive to buy engines crossed off my list RE: trackmaster kevin and RC hiro - Super - 05-14-2016 Nice pick ups Sunhuntin. To bad about the corroded terminals. I have had one of those yellow crates with a magnet or round metal piece inside for quite some time and never knew where it came from...now I do. RE: trackmaster kevin and RC hiro - sunhuntin - 05-14-2016 cheers, super. im hoping i can clean the terminal up and get a mate to solder the wire back in to place. depending on how short the wire is, it may need replacing. im going to have to build up a supply of patience over the week, so i can happily crack him open and take a look. going to be a step-by-step photo task. hes got one of those annoying set ups where the battery sits on a "plate" and all the gearing is underneath, meaning the wires are threaded through a hole and its a tight space to work in. terence and jeremy are the same, and they drive me crazy. RE: trackmaster kevin and RC hiro - Super - 05-14-2016 Good luck with him and I look forward to your photos of the experience.
