hoobby Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 What's the problem with yours does it not work or bearings worn? There is a thread on this in modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robah Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Mantasrme (Dave) usually sells the upgraded versions and they are brilliant compared to the standard unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
