I will probably start a separate thread for the thunderbolt soon as I'll be taking it apart to clean out everything and check the chopper motor before i try and make some noise with it.

If you set fire to the siren, you probably can't restore it after that. :lol:

Actually, I did notice that. I figured somebody else would mention it. The rotator motor looks different than some of the other rotator motors I have seen.
