He says that you can disassemble it... just like most other cockpit machines.

It looks very nice, I've always wanted to build one myself. I need more space before that can happen though.

Post by: bob808 on July 26, 2005, 02:13:52 am: no doubt. I NEED a bigger house with a gameroom. I have 3 arcade games, a pinball table and the x-racer. Where am I supposed to put the pool table and the stripper pole?

My question to you is, do you find that when the wheel is just sitting there, when the xbox is turned off, it seems to have alot of play in it, like its loose even though its mounted perfectly secure.

Post by: Zeosstud on July 27, 2005, 11:40:27 am: Love the term "slop" its a perfect description. I too am hoping that its just breaking in. I have had no issues with it in any game so I figure there is a pretty good chance thats all thats going on, its just getting broken in.
