You need to get some push couplings for the rear of Frankie and any other engines you want to push so the pressure is more centered than side to side.

All things considered, Frankie didn’t do TOO bad. I’m still sorry Tomy decided not to make a motorized version though.

I know. I can't see why she didn't get an interchangeable chassis like Merlin, but I guess her bodyshell wouldn't accommodate a battery. At least it doesn't look like it would. I might get one and attempt to make this work, using maybe a Donald/Douglas chassis. I've got 13 weeks on my hands after my exams... Big Grin

She is very narrow.. It was difficult to even put weights in her because of the dimensions of her shell in relationship to how the underneath plate that hold the wheels in fits in place and is shaped too. There isn't much room to put weight anywhere near the bottom, so they sit aboave the plate inside of the shell, which still made it seem a bit top heavy.
