Ok i was looking for pads again last night and found this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21185&item=8111259479&rd=1

looks like an exact replica of the RO metal pad, only 70 bucks cheaper.

Anyone had any experience with this one?

Does anybody know the pin configuration for the D-Sub connector on the RedOctane PS2/Xbox control box?

So if I don't feel like wasting $300 (yes, I mean wasting) on a Cobalt Flux, what would be the next best Metal Pad? I'm willing to spend about $150.

Hey thanks! Do you know of any mods that need to be done to either of them? I hope it doesn't require me to open up the wires of it.

Edit: does the Judy's Deal one come with a control box?

BUY THE JUDYSDEALS PAD IF U WANT AN EBAY PAD!!!! IT'S THE BEST EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its not metal on the inside though so the screws might come loose. u can fix it with wood glue or toothpicks if it happens though

i just got my metal pad yesterday. the tx-2000. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8112755951&rd=1. have had no problems with it so far. it was delivered to me the day the seller said it would. i tried to play with my socks and my shoes. doesnt really hurt my feet playing with socks except the bolts really really hurt if you hit it too hard. playing with shoes really makes no difference except a lot of noise. btw it is very silent with playing with socks. i noticed that that playing with shoes also left marks on the arrows and did kinda hurt the copper after hardly even playing

. hope this helps anyone willing to consider buying this pad

"Open it up (the arrow panels) and take a look at the contacts. Check for any unconnected wires. If you see any that are unconnected, solder them back on, or use some aluminum foil and some tape. After that, clean the copper sensor with a damn brillo pad."

Hey man I tried this, no result... The wires were connected fine so I cleaned the copper sensor, nothing.... any other Ideas?......

All the wires were fine? Under each panel? You made sure that they were all connected properly to the copper plate, right? Also try opening up the center panel, that's where the circuit board is. Check for loose connections there.

Discount Auctions... Are they any good??? This pad says Polycarb arrows, and it says frame is fully constructed of metal. Is there any good reviews of these pads.
