Luke Rainbird Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 V3s look amazing, Alloy backings too, all for £18!Not bad, would like to see a handful of reviews still though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 has he released the new pads then? ive been waiting for mine for ages and i either get a random excuse or he just doesnt reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 'specially formulated glue from loctite'yeh, as if loctite specially formulated a glue for rimjam break pads, dont know about the design of those backings either, it won't be as easy to change material as it is with the heatsink backing's anyway.......

AdamR28 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 'specially formulated glue from loctite'The glue is made by Loctite, and specially formulated for gluing metal to plastic Stan's been very impressed with his test set so far, especially in dry weather.

wally Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yes pretty much as Tarty said The new pads have an alloy backing and a new compound.The new Rimjam website will also be up later on tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) The glue is made by Loctite, and specially formulated for gluing metal to plastic Stan's been very impressed with his test set so far, especially in dry weather.meh, I just think it's a bit funny stating the obvious, surley all other pads use 'specially formulated' glue? and I'd kinda expect you to have used the right glue anyway especially after over a year of testing.

AdamR28 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I would have thought they should, however I have heard of standard cyanoacrylates (superglue) being used before. Still does a great job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 My pair had significantly more bite and hold as soon as i fitted them, compared to my joypads i had on before. My set don't really make a great deal of noise but they work very well. Wally's set make loads of noise though. He even set them up for me, what a guy!
