Hi,

Thanks for everyone for advice ad suggestions.

Magnus,

Which kind of problems? Does it stall and the motors stop turning, or
can it just not find purchase on the surface? What are you using for
the treads?

Usually the treads just don't find purchase, but I was up til 2am last night
experimenting, and think I have figured out that by adding weight to the front
of the chassis and suspension on the road wheels I am improving this a lot.

A motor has stopped a few times too, and I've gotten it working again by turning
it on and off, but I'm guessing this isn't very good for the motor. Is this a
common problem with Technic motors and are there any useful precautions to take
so as not to ear them out very quickly?

thanks

Magnus
