I've just received my vintage mamba, I have a question regarding the twin rotors. The toy I have is in great condition with no apparent breakages, When I clip the rotors on to the post, both are really loose and although the wheel sort of turns them, it's pretty crappy! Am I missing something??? All the notches are intact, it's just that there's quite a bit of movement on the mounting.

Nothing missing, that is how it originally came.. the two of mine are the same way.. one is from my childhood, the other was bought a few years back and has the same loose rotor rotation. I'm sure this was done to counter balance the centrifugal force when the rotors are spinning.

Yeah, I thought it might have been to stop it damaging the gears (Much like the Dragonfly). OK thanks, very under-rated toy IMHO

If you can cram something in the slot of the red post that sticks through the blade holes to keep it spread out, then you could probably spin the rotors faster without slipping. You could of course, glue them on, but we all proably agree that it would be stupid.

Good idea! (not the glueing). I'm not bothered, I thought there may have been something missing from my toy! Sounds like it's on all Mamba's
