that's not like any other motor setup I've seen, but it's also a really unique effect that it's creating so it's not surprising that it would be dissimilar.

it looks like an inverted rack and pinion, where the rack is fixed and the pinion moves a trolly along the pinion.  I doubt it's supposed to make any banging noises... my guess is something is stuck or broken.

Hi twistedsymphony - it 100% a rack and pinion.

Just to add some more content to the picture (it was taken from the right hand side of the unit looking towards the screen) - the motor on the left is what i understand to be a LOCK - this stops the bike from moving when the game is not in play, the moor on the right does centre the bike on start up but no banging and huge noises when it does this ... but when you play the game and get to the edge of the course where the cobble stones are that's when it starts making an all mighty racket - the manual says it will make a racket if its not aligned correctly - what i am not sure is if it should make no racket at all when its right or yes it does have some banging and noise for affect ... what I cant seem to tell or figure out is ---- does it move along the rack (rack and pinion) some what quietly (as quiet as a motor this size would be) or does it move  AND rattle and bang to create a sense of bike shuddering and vibration ... because it dang near shakes the teeth out my head when it starts !!!

twistedsymphony:
my guess is that the gears are just worn to crap so when it makes quick back and forth movements the huge amount of backlash causes to clang around.
