I'm trying to build a motorised dodgems with moving magnets under baseplate,
5 small dodgems with magnets. Tried a design with chain links - failed (links
kept snapping under load). Tried a design with a turntable - failed (gear / axle
train kept exploding). Anyone got any advice?

Do you have any pictures to give us an idea of what you are trying to accomplish?

Use Technic axles instead of pins with friction ridges.
