After all the work on the track recently I thought I would send the cars round the track for a bit in pace car mode with a little oil on the track rails just to clean everything up. The door goes so I rush downstairs not thinking, got caught talking to a neighbour for 5 minutes, return to find a mass pile-up. Not so bad until I realised the Audi was still on the track but boxed in but 2 other cars and guess what..............
IT DOESN'T RUN ANYMORE!
Right, I thought, it must be a burnt out motor so I strip it down.
Take apart an old Austin Martin and switch the motors.
Woohoo an upgrade for sure. An Audi with an Austin Martin engine! This is bound to be fast!!!
Everything back together, ready for a test run and.................
Nothing happens. Turns out the old motor still runs but the wiring loom has got so hot it has welded itself together! The Audi can now sit in the pit garage until another day! On the plus side I did rescue a stronger magnet form the Austin Martin so I can upgrade one of the other cars that refuses to stay on the track.
