Hey, do you guys reccomend me to buy a Red Octane Metal Pad or a Cobalt Flux?

I'm going to buy a metal pad and I've narrowed it down to one of these two.

Thanks.

So I got my Cobalt Fluxes today and I was wondering what the timing I need to put it on should be. I read the thing at the cobaltflux forums on timing and it said +1 or +2 for Max2 US. Which one do you guys have it on? I have Max2 US.

I got mine a few days ago and am using +1 timing on DDR Max2. I haven't tried DDR Max yet. I tried +3 and +2 first but it didn't work too well for me. So try it with +1 first, and see if that works for you too.

The left sensor on my RedOctane Metal Pad is completely shot. How might I go about finding a replacement one? The pad is less then a year old and has been like this for several weeks now. This is my only good pad (others are crappy 20 dollar ones that won't stay in one spot for more then 3 steps) and haven't been able to get in any DDR. My skills are slipping! Someone help!

im sure this has been talked about somewhere in this thread but i really dont wanna sit for hours and search and im just looking for a quick answer on this.. My friend is looking for a metal pad, and he is kinda stuck between a bns or a tx1000.. which one would be better and why?

In a nutshell... there basically the same pad.

There are a few differences.

1. BNS use poly carbonate panels, not cheap acyrylic.
2. BNS uses a copper on sheet metal contact (I think....) while TX1000 uses foil.
3. BNS lasts longer.
4. The full frame of the BNS pad is metal.

I've decided I'll probably get a cobalt flux, but I'm waiting for the xbox control box. They said that one was in development and would be out by the end of august. Do they mean the exact end of august, like the 31st, or can we expect it sooner?

It means they will try to aim to get it out at the end of August. You can't rush perfection. For further info I'd check the website and the forums. Also for the completely dumb of you here it is.

You can guess which one is the forums...the sad part is, one of you will get it wrong. Happy hunting!
