TnA Gordon Problem Resolved.

If you've ever tried to fix one of these, you'd know better, and wished you'd never opened it up...
It would be great to be able to try and fix the washing machine when it breaks down...probably very educational too, but unless you want to learn your limitations the hard way or run the risk of destroying something that will cost you even more to replace, I would always recommend calling on a professional.

Do these have the axle gears with the clutch?

Can your TNA Gordon moves under its own power on a straight surface? It looks like your Gordon can't even move under its own power on a flat surface.

I'd consult Ripley on this one- he helped fix my engines

Nope, they are basic gears 12 teeth if I recall (it has been a bit since I have looked at the TnA gears), and they are 4mm wide bs the normal spec gears with 12 teeth which are 5mm wide.

The hard part on these is just getting to them. Dodgy

I'll see what I can do, I can reach the gear, and drop super glue in, BUT I don't think it's his gear as it moves with the axel normally as a normal engine would, I think he was modified because he has unusually fast speed like CRAZY FAST like mike's ultra powerful gordon FAST, So yeah maybe the motor overheated cause I ran him for awhile?
If not and I can't do anything or if it is a internal gear, I'll be sending him to you Ripley, Priority Post, 100$ Insurance w/ Tracking No.

That settles it for now.

yes it can, straight track and hard floor, just not curves very well or hills.

Okay, SO The axel spins inside the gear when the on switch is in off or on position, BUT When it turns on, The axel moves with the gear just as normal, Its like its strength is weak tho. Any explaination?

Also he when I am holding it, Has no issues rotating the wheels and the axel and cog gear e.t.c move as normal so what the heck is this?

Well, Crap pretty noticable crack, In the gear visible on the wheel, I can reach in there without taking him apart with superglue on a little pointy tool, Should that do the trick?

its big enough I could just probably fill it in, Could I do that with some superglue?

Should I be able to drop superglue in that little crack and fix it?

I have tried super glue a few times but it has never worked completely. It will either fail, or you will get some on the other gears and it will no longer allow them to turn.

Comparing a washing machine to a collectable plastic toy train is very different.
