I recently bought a brand new&sealed 8480 set hidden behind many boxes in a

120 EUR = cheap knowing that the set includes many electrical parts (motor,
micro-motor, 2 polarity switches, 1 battery box).

But, after the complete assembly, I could not get the retractable wheels to
work nicely: only the front wheel locks perfectly both up and down.  The
rear wheels only move up and down, but do not lock in the down position,
which means that once put on the ground, the weight of the shuttle just
forces the rear wheel to fold.

Questions:
- Is this normal ?
- Did you make any modification to get a proper rear wheels locking ?

The first time I built my 8480, the back wheels didn't lock.  I rebuilt it
going back a few steps and they locked.  There must be something confusing
about the instructions... ust try to rebuild it.  The front landing gear is
pure genuis, BTW.

PS: do you also feel guilty to play Technics at 35 years old ?

I wouldn't know (I'm a teenager) but I definitly hope that I will.
