TurboTrain running issues - solution
Posted by Rapido on Thursday, October 16, 2008 11:54 AM
Hi all,

Now that our TurboTrains are in stores, we've heard reports that the motors are a bit stiff when the TurboTrains are first put on the tracks. This results in the trains not going smoothly at slow speeds.

We've since tested several sets here and we've found that after about half an hour of constant running the trains can operate smoothly at slow speeds. Evidently the cause of the jerky running is that the motors and gears need some breaking in.

Best regards,

Jason
