We have had the same problem. Ruined a coffee table and hardwood floors... Writing Hasbro and maybe returning a favorite toy....UPDATE: Contacted Hasbro via live chat on their website. Gave them the numbers from inside the legs and told them the issue. Also said others mentioned it on Amazon. They are replacing for free. They sent a prepaid envelope to send him back in so they can see the issue. I also had an issue with Bumblebee not closing all the way in vehicle mode. They are sending me a new one of that one as well without me having to return it.

It's been nothing but a nightmare so far. My grandfather is the former head of R&D; for major aircraft manufacturer. If something is broken, he can fix it period. So far he has been working on the assembly for over an hour. Quit simpley put, some of the plastic pieces just dont fit.

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

Tammy,I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

Same problem here. Great toy, but it sure is fragile. Maybe take to a Hobby Shop? Haven't done it yet.

I just had the same problem and after repeatedly trying to start it following the instructions I decided to ask my son to give it a fresh look. He quickly discovered a loose wire and reconnected it-instantly fired up.

It must be broken and you should return it and ask for a new one. I know the two I bought for my grandchildren worked very well.Good luck!

That is the only troubleshooting tip the directions give - turn off and then on again. Okay, I did that, hoping against hope. I did it many, many times, but it never did anything. If Hasbro won't repair our unit, I guess S'mores is off to the glue factory.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

Unfortunately my answer is to return it, if you can. We had nothing but problems with this toy.

Try putting it in the track and roll it around the track several times FAST. If it's been sitting idle for a long time, this might bring it "back to life".

the electric motor is burned out or its related plastic gears are locked up. It would require electronics & soldering knowledge to fix. I fixed one one battery train that had a similar problem, in which a wire came loose from the electrical motor and had to be soldered back on.

I had the same problem. What I did was unscrew the motor from the base and and use compressed air to clean the motor. Sometimes a piece of lead would get stuck inside the motor mechanism.

The launch system (the button apparatus and wiring...they're yellow in the picture) don't work. You need to get replacements or have your own if you want these rockets to launch!

Couple things that happened to me as well. Solution 1) did you use old batteries to charge it from the controler? If so, replace the batteries and charge again. Also the second time that happened there was some fiber wrapped around the rotor that I had to remove. Other than that, I think it's the best flyer for the price on the market. Hope this helps.
