After building my Gordos and Mammoth, I have noticed an unsightly problem with the front legs, especially the right ones. When placing down their right foreleg, instead of doing it smoothly, both my Gordos and my Mammoth pause for a split second and then place their foot down with an audible "kink." I have built and rebuilt the legs and trimmed them fairly well, so I am not sure of what to do. It is definetly a recurring problem, as both my Gordos and Mammoth do it in the exact same manner.
Also, my Salamander has a similiar problem with his tail. When the tail goes to the left, it will also stop for a moment and make a "Kinking" sound.
Has anyone had similiar problems? What should I do?

My mammoths all have the problem. Not sure with Gordos or Salamander, I haven't powered them up for a while now.

My Gordos don't have that problem. My Salamander does.
I noticed that my salamander's tail gets very tight when he walks so try to loosen the caps.
I have problems with my Ultra and Geno Breaker.
My Ultra's neck doesn't fully go down and back up, it kind of just slightly moves forward and stays there
My Breaker can't walk on land b/c he makes a constant clicking sound as he walks and stalls out at times.
Also does anyone else's Iron Kong make a noise when the light goes on?

Iron kongs meant to make the noise. As for Ultra, I think that's a design flaw. My Ultra does it, as do a couple of other people's I know.

The clicking happened to me alot with the Ligers and Sabre Tigers. I fixed that easy though. I think my Salamanders motor is just weak, because it will walk for just a few seconds, then it will slowly come to a stop. I know it isnt the battereies, I just changed them, but I could just be its heavy, with a weak motor.

If your Ultrasaurus' neck doesn't work right, try pushing it a little back (I think it's back).

The left leg on my salamander always acted up, so i took a nice long look at it. There was a large lump in the legs piece, wich i quickly fixed with a knife ad sanding paper.

My Gordos seems to do the same thing you mentioned, Dranxis. I just did it, and
it seems that it does that with all four feet. I've never really noticed that until now.
Maybe just something that happens during the movement of the other
feet because of the weight.

Also does anyone else's Iron Kong make a noise when the light goes on? my brothers geno breaker wouldn't even walk cause the extra stuff on the feet would get caught so he cliped it shorter and it will stand and walk fine |
