Spectrum Climax

Reading the directions that came with the loco, I noticed it stated it was a 28 speed decoder.  Is this why it runs very hot while running with 128 speed steps?  Also is there a resource for the linkage to discuss repair between front trucks and read loco trucks.  They are not turning together.  Any suggestions?

Bachmann's online parts store has all the driveline parts you would need to make the repairs. Click on the "Order Parts" link and find the three truck Climax listing. The driveline parts for the two truck are the same as the three truck version. Determine which parts you need and order them. The repairs are simple to make and don't require too much disassembling of the model.

My advice is to order one of everything and a couple extra o-rings and have at it. Changing drivelines is easier than swapping the individual gears.....keep that in mind too.
