Another great video Mike, my favourite Sparkabot aswell
Thanks Simon! I never had the Sparkabots when I was a kid... They're pretty cool. :)
Great resto Mr. BŌbot!! That's certainly still a good spark after all those years. Looks minty again with the retrobrite! 👍
Thanks VTR! :)
Yay! You're back! 😁 Gonna watch this video now and tell you what I think. 🙂
I'm always amazed at your ability to take figures totally apart and restore them. I like Guzzle - cool looking tank.
Thanks! I honestly didn't think this would work... but it did. :)
@@MisterBobot Got magic Mr Fix-it hands. 😁
@@MisterBobot Loved the sparks flying! And my verdict after watching this? Same as Mr Bobot. "Not too shabby" 😁 well done he sparks again after years.
@@Crasher1982 Thanks! :)
@@MisterBobot YW :)
Nice video mike! Great fix
Thank you! :)
sooo i know this toy is from the late 80s but.... really wished the sparks came out the cannon instead lol great figure! exxelent restore
Yep! lol, I agree... that would have been cool. :)
Ahh you used a donor toy. That was like me using part off a white Crasher to complete my black one. Cool. 😁
After I finish the Herr Fiend restoration (I'm still working on it) I'll restore the donor toy in a different way.
@@MisterBobot I look forward to it. :)
Hey everybody, hope you like this restoration video! Please feel free to leave a comment below... :)
Like the video I tried to do this with fizzle but got to the wheel pin and turned back how hard is it to get out?
Thanks for watching and the comment! The wheel pins aren't too bad. I had to use a very thin nail and gently tap w/ a hammer to get them loose, then just pull out w/ plyers.
Bringin' the Guzz back. good job mate :3
Hi, and thanks for watching and the comment! It was nice to get this guy to spark once again... Where the Sparkabots one of your favorites? :)
I have a Guzzle that doesn't spark anymore. All the parts are intact but I believe it's not working because the flint doesn't have enough friction against the striker wheel due to wear. Basically when the wheel spins all the flint does is bounce up and down. I don't believe there was a spring to press the flint against the striker. Do you have any ideas? Thanks
That's what I thought when I first looked at him. So I put more friction on the flint towards the metal wheel. It didn't do anything, it actually made it worse, and I leaned that the flint is supposed to be loose b/c it's "gravity fed" down towards the metal wheel. Then I noticed the damaged plastic gear on the rubber tire. The teeth were smashed and not locking into the other gears. Once I fixed the gear, everything worked perfectly. It didn't matter about the flint. So take a very close look at the plastic gear on the rubber tire. Also, how worn down is the flint? Thanks for watching and the question! :)
@@MisterBobot Thanks for the fast response. Luckily the gear teeth are still in great condition. I see now that the rubber tire doesn't have a good grip on the gear and isn't rotating 1-to-1 with the gear.
I tried spinning the gear quickly and could get a couple small sparks out.
So I probably need to glue the rubber tire onto the gear.
@@yellowfr0g ok, glad you could get a few sparks and identified the problem... Let us know how it goes! :)
Hi! Does anyone know where I can get a flint for Guzzle?
Hi! You can try one of these, but I can't guarantee that it will work since it wasn't the issue w/ my Guzzle. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EL8I5OK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
