Red momo making odd noise?

Gday ppl
My trusty red momo which has worked faultlessly since new has developed an
odd noise while using it.I have taken off the cover and noticed the small
electric motor (which i think is the feedback motor)is very loose.Before i
start pulling it apart to much has anyone had this prob? and if so how they
fixed it?

cheers ppl and thanks in advance

Someone has made a very good tutorial for this. Could not find it in an
instant but I'm sure you'll find it if you spend a little bit of time on
google. Or maybe search RSC.
Remember to put some of that glue-like stuff on the screws to to fix them
for good.

pug,
You are on the right track, the retaining screws for the motor had an issue
with loosening up, from the factory, as Jone said, use a little Loctite on
the screw to keep it from backing off, you will notice the difference in the
wheels' performance once everything is tight again.
I THINK I found the tutorial Jone mentioned thru the Wingman forum here
http://www.wingmanteam.com/discus/me...rd-topics.html
it was a pretty detailed explanation of how to disassemble/reassemble the
wheel.

There's an old joke that can be applied here about the nut holding the wheel
but one shall refrain.

That would be lock-tight. Do NOT use the red stuff Use the BLUE stuff.
