Hi--can someone help me with this issue please.  Not sure if first car is missing a "latch" to catch chain but it wont catch.  Chain and motor are working fine and even when I manually push the car to the chain it wont catch.  it would appear to me that there should be a piece on the bottom of the car to grab the chain but I don't see anything in listed parts.  If this isn't the case, any ideas why the chain won't catch the car?  Many thanks.

Your front car should have the little "stick" just above and behind where the nose car attaches.

Thank you--I am definitely missing this piece.  Do you know if I can buy this latch or do I need a whole new car?  Thanks again..really appreciate the help.

I know K'nex doesn't sell the latch itself, but you can always call and ask if they'll send you one. Otherwise, it's going to be a new front car, or a used one on eBay.

Also, here is a different solution to add to the bottom of your car. You can add this to any car you want. http://www.instructa...g-serpint-car./
