Battle Ram repair

[MartyOfTheUniverse]

Hi,

I bought a BattleRam on EBAY. When it was delivered I noticed that the shooting mechanism doesn't work. Does anybody know how I can fix this? I hope that it's possible!

Thanks~!

[Toms]

I have the same problem with the one I have so I also hope some can tell :-)

[He-bro]

It all depends what's wrong. Is the sping missing or broken. The the part that hold the missile ramhead not holding it anymore. Is the hole plugged. Depending on what's wrong depends on the fix.

[Toms]

The problem with mine is.
The trigger can not move, and the thing that should pull the missile out is at the buttom at the hole and can not move forward.
When I put the missile in it goes all the Way Down and can not be ejected.

Im affraid of it all will broke if I begin to take it apart as it looks like it's clued well together.

Hi He-Bro,

I have the same problem as Toms. I hope you have a solution.
If I have the courage, I will try to open Battle Ram this weekend to see whats broke.

[Toms]

Im very affraid of open mine because of the glued small pegs looks like it's so easy to break it all :-(
It also have intact stickers so if I open it some will be cut in to.

[MartyOfTheUniverse]

I haven't got the sticker on the back. So I hope that the other stickers don't cut in two by opening it. Hopefully I can play with my BattleRam sunday

After the fix, I wil download new sticker and print them.

[Toms]

If you find out the problem and can fix it, please let me know :-)
I hope not you destroy it.

Regards
Tommas

Same here(I have the problem too)

Did you all check to make sure it wasn't just the spring? I had one that was doing the same thing but replacing the spring fixed it.

I thought this thread was going to discuss some FILMation episode where Man-at-Arms opened up a Battle Ram repair shop. Then Orko tried to 'improve' the repair process, something goes wrong that accidentally makes the Battle Ram come alive, Skeletor uses it to break into Grayskull, Adam runs away to change, Teela thinks he a coward, He-Man shows up, Teela swoons, He-Man punched the Battle Ram across the screen, Skeletor runs away in his bonnet, He-Man leaves, Teela is sad, Adam shows up, Teela rolls her eyes and MAA closes up the shop.

Something like that.

He-Dad
How did you take it appart ?
I Think it looks very fragile and can breake very easy.

I didn't take it apart. the spring I'm talking about is located where you put the bullet. I used a spring from a spray bottle and a needle nose plyers. It worked to launch after that but the spring still came out easily so I bought a second one for my son at a toy shop here for $5 as he plays rough with it like we all did as kids. But even on this one the spring is not internal. It wraps around that part and the bullet pushes it down. The trigger barely moves to launch the bullet. It's actually a very simple mechanism.

[Toms]

Hi again :-)
Is there any news on your repair on your Battle Ram ?

Hi,
I didn't open it. The spring is indeed missing. The missile clicks in place but doesn't have the power without the spring to shoot out.

Now I need a spring

He-dad, do you think a spring from a pen could work?

[Hochsterus]

Anyone know how to fix the launcher? I've got a perfectly good battle ram. The missiles seat in the launcher well, but won't launch. I assume a spring is missing or broken. Any ideas?

Thanks

Fixing Battle Ram's missile launcher?
Hmmmm.....That seems quite complicated to me.

[He-bro]

We need pictures or video.

I had the same question see the following thread:

I fixed it!
I took a spring from a spray bottle. Placed it on the launcher and closed the battleram. IT WORKS

After this, I cleaned the battleram en placed the new stickers on it. Looks as new
