How does the Ultimarc E-Stik base mount?
Sasquatch!:
How does the base of the E-Stik (the plate with the microswitches and the actuator) mount to the shaft? I can slide it straight on - which would make it 4/8 way straight, and I can then twist it 45 degrees to make it diagonal, right? But just sliding it on doesn't seem to provide for a very tight fit, meaning that the base can just slide right the heck off during gameplay. I can't twist it past the 45 degrees (for the diagonals)...so, am I missing something here?
EDIT: Looking at the grooves in the shaft and the plate, it looks like if I really crank on it, it will "snap" into place. It feels awfully tight though...like "I'm gonna break it if I crank on it that hard" tight. Yes/no?
MinerAl:
We were just playing with one last night and had the same question. Finally I got brave enough to just "really crank on it." Which did the trick. My official advice: really crank on it.

Thanks MinerAl!
Do the other E-Stik owners here agree? (Not that I don't believe ya or nothin' Al... ;))

It snaps into place. The trick is unsnapping it when you want to take it off :) *THEN* it feels like you're going to break it (but you won't)...

Thanks, saint!
Looking at the grooves on the shaft and the base again though, it looks like I would have to crank on it pretty hard (again) if I want to rotate it between "straight" and "diagonal". Is this correct? Or does it rotate between those two pretty easily once it's snapped into place?
