Thats a hell of a poke in the eye mate.
Worst case will be a transplant of gearboxes to common modern versions.

I saw this earlier on one of the FB groups, what a darned nuisance especially after all the time you've invested so far. Would a gearbox swap be feasible?

Wow, I'm sorry that is a :poop: happening. I'd be a bit upset... Not exactly the exasperated stress you need right now. She is so well done. Like a phoenix she will rise from the ashes.

I have a wood chipper for such unruly offspring.

Thank you.
Not sure about a gearbox swap yet. I need to find out which other models use that gear box, and the make. I will contact Dominique in due course. I put it on the top shelf with the other scrap. Kind of out of sight, out of mind for the time being.

I’m rather annoyed.
A small chain saw will be sufficient. It’s the attitude of the parents that really hurts. As usual they blamed autism. It’s only a toy tank. Kids break toys. They do not deliberately pull shelves off the wall because they cannot get their own way. (Last visit, he smashed the TV, because he could not watch a program he likes) Granted it is in the shed, and was attached to plaster board. A 7 year old, is quite strong. Still the wall has been repaired and the shelf fitted back.
