Hi,

 I'm posting this in the hope that someone will have a suggestion, but it's not the end of the world if not; I got a Roboboa off eBay for £15 and it arrived today. Brilliant! I think it's great and the way it interacts with RSV2 and RQ is Top Banana. The only problem is when it tries to roll somewhere.

As you probably know, before the Roboboa starts to roll, it lifts itself up so that its tail touches the floor and off it goes. The problem with mine is that it lifts itself up and starts to roll, but as it rolls, it's main torse lowers until eventually, the rubber wheel on the tail is no longer touching the floor.

This happens 95% of the time. Sometimes (5% of the time ;-) I don't get this problem.

To my untrained eye, it looks like the motor is having trouble keeping the torso/head up.

I've checked the connections inside and everything looks Ok. If I move the head back far enough with the remote, I can cause the Roboboa to roll forward with no problem (though the wheel does squeak a little at times).

So, I'm thinking it might be good if I could get the Roboboa ro move his head back further when Exploring or patroling, or maybe to something to the motor to keep his body up as it should be.

Considering the price I paid for this, I'm not jumping up and down in anger, especially when I read about so many people struggling to find one, but if anybody could advise me or just let me know what's wrong here, I'd be dead grateful.

Thanks
