I assure you, they are sweet but quite a (well worth) wait.

NoahOP•7/18/23, 4:27 AM

@jehlybean yes but it’s confusing to buy

Jehly•7/18/23, 4:27 AM

Step 1: Fill out the form. Step 2: Wait.

Thanks. As described in that post, FedEX is useless. It’s like the “something went wrong” pop up on Macs, except with them you can reboot and go on about your life. EDIT: sorry, not trying to bust your chops; frustrated with FedEX. I appreciate the help!

Is this correct pot I would need to add? Where is the connection to the rhino? How much disassembly is required?

The thread is hidden by the cap in both pictures but it looks short to my eye. They've blurred the bottom but it looks like the one I have (BI P160KN9G) and that is too short for Rhino. The panel is 9 mm thick so you need ~ 12 mm of thread to get through and be able to tighten it down. I'm going to add a second pot myself, I'll let you know if I find a good one that is easy to install.

Reed•7/18/23, 5:18 PM

Please do. Thank you

LeLv30_Superbus•7/18/23, 5:30 PM

oh no my local store doesn't have anything for panels thicker than 6 mm. Next I'd open up the Rhino and see what kind of pot Walmis used. I bet he didn't install it the easy way. Going that way any common cheap 10k pot would suffice.

LeLv30_Superbus•7/18/23, 5:43 PM

Dudeman's video shows it. The pot is sunk in. It's not 9 mm but maybe 5 mm and this way you can use most cheap pots. I've sunk stuff like this, it's not hard but you do need a suitable drill bit.

LeLv30_Superbus•7/18/23, 5:45 PM

Or am I seeing things? What do you think?

walmis•7/18/23, 6:22 PM

The pot mounting is pocketed, since the material is too thick for standard pots. It's 8mm.

FedEx: "Your shipper needs to send a specialized statement for it to clear customs" Me: "I understand that, and the shipper is waiting to hear what that statement is. If you tell me what it is, I can tell him what it is. We're both motivated to get me this package." FedEX: "They need to submit a specialized statement." Me: "What does the statement need to say?" FedEX: "It needs to be a specialized statement." Me: "You keep saying that like it's informative... do you hear that it tells me absolutely nothing about what the statement... I'm sorry, SPECIALIZED statement... needs to say?" FedEX: "your shipper needs to submit a speciali----" Me: "Ohhhhhhh.... a SPECIALIZED statement... why didn't you say so in the first place?" FedEX: "Yes, sir. They need to send that. Please hold after the call for a brief Customer Service Survey." This was, of course, after spending 10 minutes navigating their automated phone support tree. For the life of me, I don't understand how they stay in business. So, @walmis , you may be getting a call or email from FedEX with their requirements for the contents of this alleged "specialized statement". I appreciate your help in this. _Erik

That is awful.

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/19/23, 6:25 PM

for anyone else looking to ship soon, walmis does offer DHL which also uses their own location for customs (at least in USA idk about other countries)

Vulcan•7/19/23, 6:30 PM

Walmis probably got put on the naughty list ever since he got flagged for importing rhino parts!

walmis•7/19/23, 6:32 PM

Fedex shipments usually go pretty smoothly, but occasionally there are some hiccups with customs. I'll see what I can do from my end tomorrow.

walmis•7/19/23, 6:33 PM

DHL is like double the price of fedex though

kingjamez•7/19/23, 6:35 PM

*off topic but we are lucky to have somewhat reasonable prices from Lithuania out... (at least to the U.S.A.). I tried to ship a laptop via Fedex to Vilnius last week. They wanted $540 WITHOUT insurance. That was the slowest option too.

kingjamez•7/19/23, 6:35 PM

It was literally cheaper to buy an airplane ticket.

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/19/23, 6:54 PM

walmis•7/20/23, 12:34 PM

Your package should be released today:)

Phantom•7/20/23, 1:05 PM

I have changed the grip type to winwing and plugged in my adapter but it doesn't seem to pick up the grip that is plugged in, I tried applying, store, unplug USB, plug back in, power up etc, but not seeing a result ?

Phantom•7/20/23, 1:06 PM

anything else I should be doing to swap over ?

Phantom•7/20/23, 1:06 PM

I have previously used my Virpil and Thrustmaster grips without issue ?

Phantom•7/20/23, 1:09 PM

For reference I am trying to use the F16-EX grip, if that makes a difference

walmis•7/20/23, 1:13 PM

Can you change the grip type to Generic (Debug) and grab a screenshot of the Debug tab messages window while it's plugged in?

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:04 PM

do I need to change to that, then power off, close program, restart etc before taking that pic mate ?

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:05 PM

walmis•7/20/23, 2:05 PM

nope, no need, just change the grip type

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:05 PM

this is how it is in the mean time

walmis•7/20/23, 2:05 PM

looks like the rhino can read the adapter

walmis•7/20/23, 2:06 PM

so the WW <-> adapter connection is not working for some reason

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:06 PM

ok, I will check the EX connection in case its shorting the grip electrics inside or something ?

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:06 PM

the EX has that little addon bit you bolt on the side, then plug in an extra cable

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:07 PM

its possible its nipped the wire as I tightened the extension maybe

walmis•7/20/23, 2:07 PM

Do you have a WW base to test it?

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:07 PM

sadly not mate

walmis•7/20/23, 2:09 PM

Does the WW grip connector have a good mate with the adapter? I've found sometimes you need to push it a bit for it to make proper contact

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:10 PM

seems to slide into the adapter without undue resistance tbh

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:10 PM

smoothly

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:13 PM

beyond the pins does the adapter do something electronically mate ??

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:14 PM

or could I bypass the adapter with an extended thrustmaster lead extender direct to the WW grip ?

Phantom•7/20/23, 2:17 PM

ok I think I have some life here, but only I really push the adapter into the WW connection overly firmly
