6650 big time operation troubles!
Posted by Leverettrailfan on Thursday, February 13, 2014 9:54 AM

Hi.  i have a really troublesome 6650 at the moment.  it used to work just fine (the only thing wrong was a non functioning auto-raising mechanism that i fixed).  i have a 6448 target range car that i was exploding with the 6650, and quickly learned that it is rather hard to hit unless the 6550 is perfectly level. in order to set it off at such a angle, i needed to pull the trigger at the bottom of the black top piece of the missile launcher.  i am rather afraid that  in doing so, i damaged the catching mechanism that keeps the missile from firing the instant you let go of it because one day it just stopped catching properly.  when i pulled it back, it made the right sound but it instantly let go. it didn't get better the second time i tried to launch it, any other time for that matter.  I'm dying to operate it, but in it's current condition, that's not happening.

please help me if you can! I'd really, really appreciate it!
