Like Strap Hanger I treat it gently and the only issue I have had with it is the battery cover which as been broke for 10 years held in place with a rubber band and electrical tape.
I want to THANK everyone for their advice and tips on repairing it. GRJ I have had it apart once because I thought the cradle was broke that was when I ordered the spare parts so that part should not be to bad my decision would be save the wheel assembly and just replace the cradle or replace the entire assembly? I am inclined to save the wheel assemble for when I have no choice since I have two remotes.
