hey Wally, can you add me to the server, or is it too much of a pain in the arse? I forgot to sign up.

No worries, I'll add you.

Thanks Wally, sorry about that.

Results are up. Joe wins the round, which featured some excellent close racing.

These cars were not too bad. First crack at both with the cars and this track during practice so with little to no knowledge of either I didn’t play much with the set up, just wings and tyre pressure. Got the tyre pressure wrong in race 1 but then got it right for races two and three and the difference was massive! I really like how these cars have 100% brake which makes them rather tricky to stop but also provide an opportunity for mistakes. I spent a lot of the last two races duelling with Wally who ultimately came home with the chocolates but the most enjoyable part of the night was following Joe going around the outside of another car under braking into turn 1, and then driving about 1/2 a lap side by side. It’s just a shame the numbers are low because I think these would a lot of fun with a big grid.

It doesn't look like google can help me, I found links to CSL Elite wheels but none of them are the same as mine.
It looks like it's been deleted from history......

The only solution I can come up with is extreme and will be irreversible.
I'm considering using Loctite 406 to basically jam it into a permanently ON position.
If it doesn't work, the wheel will be garbage........

Is it a switch that's broke? Surely you can replace it, or can't you figure out how to dismantle for access?

Is this the problem Bacchulum?

I found that info roo, but that's a different wheel to mine, mine seems to be a prototype (it doesn't have the detachable/replaceable wheel rim and different buttons).
Plus, it's a mechanical failure, the ratchet system that holds it "on" has failed.

It is the switch doobs, but I can't source a like-for-like, which might explain why they didn't use it in the production run of the wheel base.

[Wally]

Can you permanently bypass the switch, and just solder the connection? My wheels have always been permanently on.

[Bacchulum]

I reckon I'd do less damage with the loctite, my soldering skills suck.
