Does the wheel base have the option to permanently mount it? If so then you could mount it on a bit of wood and then clamp the wood to the table with alternative clamps (presuming you do not want to drill holes in your table).

Failing that, then take it apart and see if it can be fixed/modified. As you tried to add extra thickness and that did not work, then it would sound as though the screw part is ok and it is the nut part at fault...but only inspection would confirm.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Just saying, there are idiots on forums from all countries. We should try not to generalize based on the worst examples.

Yes. Hey, you can have idiots that are related by blood...born in the same place etc.
What made me chuckle so much was how sterotypical it sounded.
Quote from Racer Y :Lookie here. I'm messing with Daniel - OK? If I think I need a response from you, I'll tell you what to type. OK?
....
now for you Mr Ant. Let's be a little logical. Can we? Yeah, I hate being so as I have to do that way too much in the real world but Let's do it here for second.
Uh If I really had the intellect of how I posted, now use some logic here,
Would I:
A. Have the mental capability to be able to post on the forum with such decent spelling, much less post on a forum in the UK?
OR
B. I dunno... be some Rancher out in the Nevada desert in a standoff with federal authorities?
Ok. now for the comment I want you to type:
"oh"Gee whizz Deadwolf. I hope we don't have to share a foxhole together...

Ant is fine....no need for Mr....thanks.
Logic is great but I am not so sure your logic of "if you can type and have an opinion then you are intelligent" is really a correct logical conclusion.
Quote from dawesdust_12 :Good thing all of Racer Y's posts come with a simple tl;dr of:
"Ignore me."

Nah. He has an opinion and I can read it without having to correlate numbers/letters. I find it entertaining.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Yeah, those guys are idiots. Not like those worldly Brits.

If I was blabing about how my country of origin knew best then I would expect some retort...I am not...

To quote your brethren:-

"To the brain dead kool aid drinker that posted up above me from the Nether lands:
What do they call people from there anyways? Netherlanders or something?
Anyhow. As an American, I'm tired of being the world's babysitter. I could care less how stupid your country is or isn't, I think Darwinism should be allowed to run its course and let you live or die by the outcome of your own devices. But as usual, you'll just screw things all up and come whining to us for help...AGAIN. Do you know how much higher our standard of living would be if we didn't have to spend a chunk of our tax money keeping you third world countries from making another Hitler or Stalin or Napoleon for yourselves? And they tell us in the commercials that just a dollar a day will make you happy... Gheesh...
I'm just waiting for the EU to tank and we'll just have to borrow that much more money from China to bail y'all out. All the while with little neo marxists burning our flag, hating on us and insulting us while on their way to get a Big Mac. Then calling us on speed dial cause you said something stupid to a muslim and can't back it up.
Yeah. I don't know why our government wastes so much time and money on your affairs. Your nonsense should be your problem. Not mine. Besides, you people kicked our ancestors out of your countries. I don't see where we owe you anything."

I like the RacerY guy...America rocks...yo..they invented everything and they can save us all from impending doom!

Just do not ask them about anything outside of America.

Why don't you take your conspiracy theories somewhere,where some still believe that The King is still alive?

Depends on who you call the king...Elvis/George/Jackson are dead...sadly Senna too..but King Kenny is still living.

Quote from sinbad :...but I think he did the right thing there after the event.

Yes...I would imagine he had some advice..
I still do not understand why anyone cares if someone is a racist or makes a racist comment or is heard to say a word that is deemed to be racist....

Quite frankly...who cares?.. We could name many people who have found popularity with colour/class/origin distinctions and many more making fun of those distinctions...

Someone with a big nose..has a big nose....if tall then tall..etc...oh if I say he is a honky then that is not correct?

Quote from The Moose :I'm 43. I've never heard the racist version either, or the expression "slope" either for that matter before the TG controversy.

44...and never knew either could be termed as racist..ah well times move on...

Edit....damn...now that is going to sound ageist....phew...is hard not to say something without offending someone these days....

Seriously...people and racism...if my gandad does not like people that are a different colour to him then clearly that is his choice...no?
Sure, if my grandad builds an army against people that are a different colour then I am going to say..."hang on...they are just people...you may think that white men can not dance and black men can run fast...but this is not true...think again grandad".
If anyone wants to claim that they are lead by the opinion of JC...(lol)...then carry on...

Quote from PhilS13 :Your understanding is not that bad...You only need to do one last step. You have to separate in your head torque at the wheels from torque at the engine. Once you do that and you understand the role of gearing in between them you'll get it. You really are not that far IMO.

Ah...so basically we are talking about adapting the gearing to suit the engine?
Is that not the reason that we have both torque and power output for the engine...to calculate our gearing?

Quote from matijapkc :Well, you're just being ignorant, that's all
Also, let me explain why I "feel" so negative about it. I played the game, I reached lvl 2#(it's 20 something, don't know exactly which one) and the lack of people makes the game pretty unplayable. You spend more time searching for a server than you do playing. And to explain why I wrote that thing about Crytek. When a team of devs adds maps insted of fixing a broken netcode, than something is wrong. A lot of people get a lot of problems with connection to their servers. You just disconnect every 3rd game.
If you can ignore those things, and an awful lot of cheaters and campers, then the game is highly enjoyable.

I call it tolerant rather than ignorant...I tolerate the other people...
You could be said to be impertinent...but I do not really know anything about you...

It seems that you have played the game and do not like it....so delete it and move on...
If we bring it down to how the developers choose to develop their game compared to what you/me/the majority want, then there will be differences...

Quote from PhilS13 : Alright I'll try but really there are tons of people better at explaining this than I am.

Thanks for taking the time.
Quote from PhilS13 :
Power is the rate at which the wheel can turn
Rate ? As in Rotational speed ? I'm not sure what your rate here means....

I guess I should have wrote "wheel"...I was referring to "wheel" as our workload...so I should have wrote- power is the rate at which the workload can be done.
Quote from PhilS13 :
torque is the force behind the wheel
True. But the torque at the engine still means nothing. Torque at the wheels is the force accelerating the car but it is not linked to engine torque, it is linked to engine power. An engine that spins faster will have shorter gears that will multiply torque more than longer gears would. If your engine spins fast, you only very little torque, the gearbox will take care of multiplicating it for you.

This is where confusion arises...I am only talking about engines. Of course you want your gearbox to accelerate correctly and get to a certain top speed.
I can give a scenario- Consider two engines connected to a single geared car...one engine has more power (it will rev higher) and the other more torque (but it will not rev so high)...which will get to a higher top speed and which will accelerate faster?!
Yes, there is, a correlation of power/torque...so if you have low power but high torque engine you will need different gearing to achieve the same result as the high power-low torque engine....both are used to give a greater insight to the engine performance.
Quote from PhilS13 :
If the wheel has a lot of torque then it will get to maximum speed quicker than a wheel with less...if a wheel has more power then it will get to a higher maximum speed than with less...
Let's say the biggest amount of torque at the wheels will make you accelerate faster and reach a higher top speed as well. They are not exclusive things like torque does one thing and hp does another. Doesn't work that way.

How can that be?
If I have 1 torque and 1 power on one engine and the other has 1 torque and 2 power then clearly these are different engines designed for different duties?
Quote from PhilS13 :
A modern(pre-2014) F1 engine that was not fuel limited or heavily limited in rpm was outputting the same amount of torque a big family sedan does. Why did they chose to design them that way? Because engine torque is irrelevant. All you need is HP to produce torque at the wheels.

The difference in weight is why the F1 car may only need X torque compared to the "big family sedan"...torque is our turning force.
Quote from PhilS13 :
2014 engines output more torque. Cool. At what rpm are they running? 10000. Oops. No more 18000 rpms ? No. Crap. Gearing now has to be longer. All that extra torque is gone at the exit of the gearbox. You end up with the same amount of peak torque at the wheels than you had in 2013.

You are missing a large trick in all of this....the cars this year are allowed more electric "power"...electric "power" is more or less instantaneous torque (not power...torque...turning force).
Quote from PhilS13 :
What has changed is how wide the power band is(only due to fuel flow limit curve btw). Whenever someone is saying "wow this engine has a lot of torque", what he really should be saying is "wow this engine outputs a big % of its peak power even at low-mid rpms".

Yes and no...If I step on the gas and my head goes back instantaneously then I say that it is torquey....if it will rev to the moon then it has a lot of power.

Quote from ColeusRattus :Also, whiele considerably pretty, it's both unoriginal and not very fun, combined with being one of the bad kinds of f2p titles, where you pay money for better equipment, instead of vanity items.

I found it playable...I never feel any need to purchase the extras in the free games....I am happy to run around (and die) like a loon with a pea shooter for many hours if I find it fun...if not fun then delete and move on....it is free after all.

Quote from matijapkc :I don't think it's okay to write Xbox 360 when there's also a PC version.
Also, what you should've mentioned is that it's still beta and that Crytek hired drunkards and junkies to develop that game unfortunately :/

I do think it is ok to write Xbox 360 when that is the only thing I have played it on...I did not even look to see if it was available on PC nor care.
I did not feel any need to describe anything about the game as I provided the link to the main website and a video of gameplay. If anyone needed further information then there are ways to search on the internet...
If you had posted how negative you feel towards this game on this forum previously...then I would of found that thread and added my own comment.

Most of what you have just said is wrong. Do your own reading if you like, everything is on the internet.

Quote from PhilS13 :I'm opening a can of worms but whatever.

Yes...I think you are...either in my mind or yours?
Power is the rate at which the wheel can turn and torque is the force behind the wheel.
If the wheel has a lot of torque then it will get to maximum speed quicker than a wheel with less...if a wheel has more power then it will get to a higher maximum speed than with less...

Quote from Fordman :Firstly, thank you for nobody bashing me, for just asking a question LOL. I am not bashing the mouse drivers, but most of you have answered the question, re setups for mouse and setups for wheel's.

I did forget to mention, that when nilex gave me his setup, I was actually faster and got a new PB LOL but I was fighting the wheel, as in constantly correcting the whole time, where my setup, I don't have to fight it.

If I continue using that, I would end up with biceps like Van Damn HE HE

Fordie

Who is this Nilex person?...
I will tell you that he has been playing this game for a very long time...he can make/alter a set well...he knows what track/car he can work with...he knows how to maximise his performance potential with the mouse.
You will have to put in a massive amount of time and effort to even get close...to beat him you will have to be either naturally talented or dedicated to the extreme.

Would he be faster or slower using a wheel though?

The best drivers in the world should be able to adapt, no matter what.

I disagree, some people will be able to drive a certain car faster but that does not mean they will drive every car faster...there are many examples...

Whilst I am mostly nodding my head at what you are saying...we still do not know!
That RB still looks magic in the turn and out of it...different tracks are going to help the other engines in decent cars...and it is still very early.
So far this season we had one specific race that gave more action/excitement than the whole of the last few seasons...probably put together.
I do not care who wins the manufacturer or driver championship, I just want to see some cars racing around having intense battles...I want those moments where I shout "Go on/up the inside son/yessss/good pass/etc" .

Why sell it? It is worth nothing...in five more years it will still be worth nothing!

Maybe I am glossing over the fact you need to have a certain mentality to enjoy things...ah well...people still play pong btw...

Quote from Storm_Cloud :Looks like this season could turn either into a classic intra team battle when it really wouldn't have mattered if only 2 cars turned up for each GP (1988) or we might get another 2011 or 2013 - just depends how quickly Rosberg can get to grips with Hamilton

Hey..come on..it is still early?
Maybe the other cars with the good engine will ketchup...or the other engines in the other cars....
Please let us have a season that is entertaining for more than a moment...
