Never cared for this vehicle a whole lot. It felt like I needed 5 hands to play with it.

I came so close to getting one of these as a kid. I had $20 and it was $19.95 (or $19.99) but my parents wouldn't float me the tax so I didn't get one till a few years ago.
As for the rotors, the gears on mine were fine, but the pegs that go through the rotors were squeezed together too much and wouldn't grap the rotors to make them spin. I just took a small piece of cardboard and stuck it between the two halves of the peg and that pushed them apart enough to spin the blades |

Definitely goes well with the Cobra Para Trooper.

I think I was starting 8th grade the year this came out and both me and my brother were scaling back on buying Joes. I know we picked up a lot of the figures from 1987 - but if I had 20 bucks all at once I was picking up music. On cassette LOL
Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Judas Priest...oh yeah. Headbangers ball was IT. I think I considered picking up the Mamba once, but between me and my brother we kinda thought of it as a downgrade since we bought a Night Raven less than a year before. |

This is an awesome copter... glad I bought it when I saw it... wasn't originally on my big ol list, but I had to make an exception when I saw it in person.

I had to wrap masking tape around the rotor shaft of the mamba to provide better grip on the rotor blades. I have the crimson guard twins in the pods.
