Somewhere, a long time ago, I read of a person opening up his
Tortoises and increasing the gap on the circuit board by filing
away some of the copper pad.? While this would work, it does void
your warranty, so it's up to the OP whether that's acceptable.? I
don't know what I'd do with a warranty on a $20 item anyways, it
would cost me most of that in shipping just to send a defective
product back.

Are you powering the frogs through the tortoise relays? We have
found that some tortoises do not have a dead gap when the relay
throws, so the frog shorts in the center of the throw. We had to
use both relays to get proper frog powering.
also, You might have the relay changing the power before the rails
stop making contact with the outside rail. As in, tortoise starts
to move, relay makes for new route, then rails in the turnout
move.
Timing can bite you!?
