Yep, CNVIA hit that nail right on the head! Make sure the magnet on the car body is adjusted right! Too far foward, won't pull body back on. Too far back, it won't dump! It's a solenoid mechinism.The solenoid energizes, gets a magnetic field activated, then pulls on the metal piece on the bodie's botton, and dumps!
