We call it 90mph tape. It will hold rusty fenders on your car up to 90mph. According to my certified testing lab.

$150 for any part is forcing a new stick. Kinda the old car money pit. It’s probably made for $10.
I think you like beating the challenge. What I do.
I’ve not heard good things about TM support. And the buttons and stem breaks are most common, warn gimble to follow.
Like CH, TM and ever x52/x28 was best stick for it’s day, without super expensive route
Why I switched to a more hefty gimble and better support and wen VKB WWII grip stick fir $120, $170 after taxes, tariffs and shipping. Its the best for the price, with ball bearing gimble, triple springs, and 3 inner tension adjustment screws
Most are set on the stick they grew into.
So up to you, fix or switch.
Or, buy a repeat and have spare parts, just not the most common such as this.
I’m sure I didn’t have to say this, you know.
Beside that you may prov the theory wrong and find a cheap fix.

Not sure who the transfer portal, NIL, and SEC expansion (2012 & 2024) has benefited - certainly not us. From the time we joined the SEC in 1992 to 2011, we were averaging a record of 7-5 overall and 4-4 in conference with four SEC West Division wins. Since 2012, that average has tanked to 5-7 overall and 2-6 in conference with four of the worst seasons in Razorback history. Teams like Missouri and Texas A&M have actually increased their overall win average by one game since joining the SEC in 2012, though their respective conference records did not significantly change. A lot of this is due in part that prior to 2012 we received a lot of our talent from Texas and Oklahoma players seeking to be a part of an SEC team and be somewhat close to home - no longer the case. Coaching/staff shakeups since 2012 have largely failed to get any clear direction and stability, fanbase can’t get behind them when their answer to poor performing seasons is “keep your chin up and smile!”. Other programs have certainly been able to better capitalize on NIL and the transfer portal dynamic, we seem to be the ones watching talent go.
They need to just split all 136 teams up into eight mega-conferences. Winner of each conference championship form your ‘elite 8’ of the national championship bracket. Simple as that, so no one can claim unfair bias being under ranked or over ranked. The hiccup of course being what to do with independent teams.

Any play to win the war player will be happy to see this banger back.
Awful for outside the war play. A challenge for the uninitiated.
Pizza requires time, planning, and flawless execution to conquer.
Just stay away from the anchovies

I dont see much of a difference. He shot down almost everyone that came in range, much like you try to do. The only difference really is it will take you longer due to the numbers these days even using two accounts.

« Last post by The Fugitive on Today at 07:58:00 AM »How is the switch failing? Sticking? Not making contact?
Can't see the back of the switch, is it a purpose-made 4-way switch or a frame to hold four separate switches (like the CH 4-ways)?
It is a purpose made switch, this is the second hat on the stick...
In the base of the switch (left arrow) it is made of plastic with a square hole in the base. The actuator is a plastic shaft attached to a medal thumb button. The arrow (right arrow) is pointing to the point where the shaft is cut square before it drops in diameter to the bottom of the shaft. This square cut fits in the square hole at the base of the switch and is used as the pivot point. Both show wear. When I push the switch up, it slips enough to contact the "right switch" giving me an "up and right" view.
So it is the base of the switch and shaft that is worn. Button replacement.... if possible wont help. Its the plastic connection parts that need replacing. So I need the whole switch assembly. I would think these should be a dime a dozen seeing as there are some many controls with hat switches, but so far no luck.. I have sent a note to Thrustmaster but Im not holding out much hope as Im sure they would rather sell me a new grip vs a replacement switch.
