When I tried running it, I also found it tried to escape, this has been cured by obtaining a Mamod "Power Press" and drive band and mounting them on a piece of wood. While running could still not be described as sedate, it's a lot slower than it was without a load.Simon Hargraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026455397775065689noreply@blogger.com
