[Challenge & Achievement] Space Shuttle Day 1

This is what I have completed on the first day of building the Space Shuttle.


Of course, the journey definitely had its challenges :sweat_smile:. After testing the electronic parts I found it hard to remove the terminals of P12 and Motor 2 from the motherboard :sweat_smile:. It was really stressful but thankfully I was able to remove them without serious breakage.

I have been building this model non stop and I just love it so much. I had a really fun time putting everything together while simultaneously listening to a 7 hour video essay reviewing every episode of iCarly :laughing:. The best part of building to me is seeing this model come together while simultaneously learning a lot of things from the videos I listen to as well.

Thank you and tune in for the next update!

Assembling Rokr models is always an interesting challenge to overcome.

Be sure to sand and wax the part that slides out and use part c14 when testing else it will not work properly.

That sounds like such a rewarding session! :glowing_star: Even with the stress of dealing with those stubborn terminals, you handled it like a pro—removing them without serious breakage is a big win.

Yeah I definitely waxed pretty much all of the gears, rails, and even the base floor just to make them work smoothly :laughing:.

That’s true! I also like the fact that with ROKR models, you’re essentially building a machine as well :laughing: that’s why I’m a huge ROKR fan :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
