jackychan Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 file:///Users/Cami/Desktop/IMG_1776 (1).m4v I've had my MSX for about 8 months now and about 2 months ago, the wheel started to shake and unpredictable times. Whether I was accelerating or coming to a stop, it would start to shake out of control. Has anyone else had this happen to them, and does anyone have any ideas and how to fix this or whats happening or where its coming from? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lee Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 From what you've described it sounds like loose Axel nut or loose control board. @Marty Backe has video on how to tighten the Axel nuts on couple of EUC's. I don't know if there is one for MSX. @mrelwood would know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) What you describe is a typical symptom of a (slightly) loose board. The board moves in the wheel, which leads to unwanted input (the tilt sensor is on the board), which makes the wheel react eratically and vibrate. Before you touch the axle nuts (tricky and most likely unnecessary), make sure the board is firm in the shell and the shell itself is firm on the metal pedal hangers. Even a very slightly loose board (one that moves in relation to the motor/pedals/pedal hanger assembly) can cause your symptoms. The board is behind the right side pad. Just look if it's moving slightly and, if necessary, tighten the screws holding it to the heatsink and the heatsink to the shell and the big screws holding the shell on the pedal hangers. Don't overtighten. All you need is a philips screw driver and an allen key to remove the right pedal (not sure if that is even needed to remove the side panel on the MSX). Also check if you see any plastic damage anywhere that would allow the board to move, be it the board holders/braces or on the shell around the pedal hangers.

meepmeepmayer Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Looking at the video (works now), it does indeed look like it's the axle nuts being loose (with a bit of luck it's still just a loose board). Oh dear, these are a bitch to fix. Look up some Youtube videos for more on how that works. Edited October 6, 2019 by meepmeepmayer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackychan Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 @meepmeepmayerso what i need to do is tighten these nuts and it should fix the problem?

meepmeepmayer Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Yes, if it's the nuts, you need to tighten them (that is complicated). Maybe it's just a loose board and you can fix your problem by tightening some garden-variety screws (easy!) - can't hurt to check this first before touching the axle nuts. Here's some videos about the nut tightening (the first are the best). Watch them to get the idea of what to do. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gotway+tighten+axle+nuts Also contact your seller if possible, your wheel isn't that old. Maybe he can do the repair (warranty?) or help you or give tips, if needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackychan Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Thanks. I'll try tightening the board first and hope thats the problem. Thanks so much for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Good luck. You can also maybe feel if the axle nuts are loose if you have the side panel removed and you can rotate the inner axle against the nuts (or make something move that logically shouldn't).

Popular Post jackychan Posted October 7, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2019 @meepmeepmayer Problem solved! Just had to tighten a few of the screws behind the foot pedals on the inside. Thanks for the suggestions and help! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
