'Mine' has a very short 'keel' between the braids, about 1/4" long and maybe 3/16ths deep, at the front of which appears to be the stub of that pin you're talking about. It's so short that on a flat surface all four wheels touch the ground and rotate if it's pushed along.
Sounds like I need a steady hand to drill down that stub - no, on second thoughts I might shorten the keel from the front by the dia. of that stub then drill and insert a plastic coated metal rod I have which, if I can find it, should be just about the perfect size
Since this was left on my doorstep 'gratis' in a boxful of old Scalextric track it owes me nothing - but I feel I owe IT a chance to run under its own power again
I can see how the rear end of the body separates but how does the front of the undertray unclip so I can fix the steering please, or should I just pop the steering out? I don't want to force anything and break it.
As for the motor magnet, I might try reviving it by attaching a neodyium dot to it, somewhere it can't be seen
