Hi Andy P, I live in Australia. Thanks for that cob. regards, Hanshi

Hi Andy P and Gorp, I really am a scalextric newbie, and boy how it shows. Using your combined ifo, I think I may have solved the problem. I was thinking about the "hand brake" comment, and how it could apply here. I swapped tyres from one of the older vehicles, just for a test..... and guess what ..... the truck moved forward. Although the tyres I swapped over, are also from an older vehicle, they made a vast improvement, so now I will need to buy a number of tyres. Thanks for the help, I will keep you posted on the outcome. I will search ebay for some tyres ?? regards, Hanshi

I will give it a look and get back yo you. Thank you for the reply. I don't think the gears are chewed however, as when I hold the front of the truck on to the track the wheels do spin madly. If I could relate it to a motor vehicle, it is as if I am pressing the accelerator whilst hold my foot on the break Checked the gears, no apparent problem. The 2 trucks giving the 'non movement' have double yellow gears. When put on the track all wheels turn well but no forward movement. I will add a drop of oil, but everything is really moving freely? Also the side car bikes are doing the same thing ?????

Hi, Thaks for the opportunity to join and comment. I have a problem which I can't understand. I have purchased a number of racing trucks, but none of them will move forward. When I accelerate, they only shudder, but the wheels are turning fine. All other cars work fine?? Any help would be appreciated. regards Hanshi
