horror1o1 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I recently got a Apollo 2000 in none working order. i had to fix the battery case so i opened him and with rotating a few gears he started walking and shooting....however he doesn't rotate. i looked at all the gears and they seem to be moving and they are all made of metal so i'm not sure what the problem is? any suggestions and which gears make him rotate so i can be sure. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Here is a video on how the inside looks and runs its from MH as you can see that left top gear starts to move up then rotation begins does yours do likewise.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAn9YHt2RQA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 the gear that makes the robot rotate is below the gear box. That shaft that you see lift up when the robot stops walking has a gear on the end of it. when its down that gear connects with the walking gear drive when its up it connects with a gear that makes the body rotate. so either the gear is worn at the top edge so that when it lifts up it can not engage the rotation gear or the rotation gear is worn "bad teath" at the point that they mesh. You need to take a peak at what is going on below the main motor gear box to see what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horror1o1 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I looked at gear and turned him on for the first time I noticed he was ever so slightly rotating and that's with out the top part of his body completely attatched. So with the top part attached I'm sure that's why it's not moving. Maybe the gears need oiled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
