FX FX power wheel

[gfollan1]

Has anyone had the opportunity to replace the original power wheel (number and letter combo) with the newer (all number #19908) version? I purchased one as a spare when I ordered my Crown MKII last year, and just assumed it was a drop in replacement, but the lobe on newer version appears to extend beyond the radius of the cutout in the receiver, so it only drops in if the tip of the lobe lines up with the hammer block cutout, limiting its range of travel. FX support confirms it should be a drop in replacement. Maybe it's just an out of spec part? Seems unlikely, but thought I'd ask.

Mine dropped right in …pics?

You can put the new powerwheel on the mk1, I did. Must have been milled wrong. Did you call them?

We did have a dialog, but haven't gotten beyond the "It should fit" stage. I probably ordered it too far back to return it, but I'm reluctant to order another in case I end up with the same result. It's definitely an issue with the lobe extending too far out to fit in the receiver, but I guess it's possible it's just over-sprayed with paint.

Uhhhhh, order another and if it fits return the old one. I'm surprised that FX isn't going to correct it though. They do read these forums.

This may not be your problem but did you make sure that the hammer pre-load screw is not blocking the path for the power wheel to drop into place. Whenever I work on my Crown MK2 I always forget to push that screw back out of the way before trying to drop the power wheel into place. Just a thought.

On my Impact MK2 I replaced the PW knob to the same in the above video I think it is for Crown, after a year I got bored and replaced again to the M3 wheel.
So, the Impacts are fine and working well if you communicate about a part with your dealer when you order.

I did and it was a drop in.

FX USA was kind enough to send a replacement which fit correctly.
