Roundhouse Billy problem - too much steam?

H

I've built a Roundhouse Billy kit and found that it goes off like a Sidewinder rocket no matter how many lead weights I add or how much I reduce the regulator travel. When I cut the steam it slides done the track and sometimes falls off. What have I done wrong?
 
It may be the linkages are wrong. If I accidentally put money into reverse/or forward it will skid, and doing it too often will cause damage.
Going too fast on minimal regulator seems odd, but it may need adjustment some where. Is it RC or manual?
