This little guy has a lot more to it than I thought. This one has LOTS of gears and you have to wax the heck out of it (thank you @Nita_Davis 
). Had to make a few adjustments to get everything to turn smoothly. So far, so good!

I am always so happy to offer assistance. There are so many people who do not understand when they are working with wood that sanding and waxing are the two most important things when building.

You are very welcome @Pappidachs A lot of members here are Rolife Fans but I started with ROKR. The wooden models are much different than those meant to snap together and it pains me to see so many struggle.

I’m glad you’re going through it first so that I can follow in your footsteps. I’ve not made anything with gears yet and given my history of breaking pieces, I’m nervous…

Here are my rules for success _ sand, wax sand wax. Don’t force, gently rock the pieces into place. If they still don’t fit, sand the pegs on the sides. Then, gently rock them in. San, wax, sand, wax. I’m having a blast with this one, so I’m sure you will love it to!

It is coming along well @Mark_Rudnik!
The gears look intimidating enough for me to just appreciate it from the sidelines. I know that lights, wires and gears will never be my cup of tea.
Looking forward to seeing your next post.
