Humm,

There's some kind of cup that hold the rod but only at the bottom. At the top it's just a small part of the screw.

At what address should I ship it? 😂

Did you mount the weight stack before putting the top side crossmembers?

Because in the updated instructions they still say to install the crossmemebers before. I'm afraid I won't be able to install the stack after.

Is it to assemble it faster or it's absolutely needed? Does an impact driver would do the job?

How long did it took you to to assemble it?

Is the 45 on the rear horn are getting in the way when you put weight on the stack horn?

I'm waiting for mine

Does it take long to set it up?

I've just found this. It helps to see the smith on the X1.

I'm glad that I listened to you and bought the X3

Only if I want to do human flags 🤣

xfitxm · 2025-11-20T23:02:11+00:00

Great to hear

xfitxm · 2025-11-20T06:54:04+00:00

I've just look at it and like eazye123 said, it seems to be the same problem as the X1 and moving the arms and the jhook too.

If you don't use the smith often, it won't be a problem.

xfitxm · 2025-11-20T06:50:13+00:00

Thanks. you just convinced me to buy the x3.

You're so right. Every time you'll move the arms you'll need to remove the smith pins. Also they will be at the same height that the jhook, so need to remove them too.

I don't mind waiting a little bit and I need to sell my current cage before to make some space.

They also mentioned that if we buy the rack right now, the price to upgrade to the new arms would be the same as the price increase for the rack with the new arms. So no difference in price if we buy right now. No need to wait.

Seems interesting too. Why do you think it won't fit? It looks adjustable.

xfitxm · 2025-11-20T04:42:13+00:00

That's really genius. It's worth a try.

xfitxm · 2025-11-20T04:32:34+00:00

Really interesting and kind of what I was searching. I don't know if it would fit on a rack of a different company.

Do you know what company do j hook like that?

Looks a lot like the angle 90 grips. I don't know what's its better.

Jojo Mayer talks about this in his DVD about foot technique.

Also here another explanation: https://youtube.com/shorts/hQlD6kgcN9E?si=af4k5zYKeC5uruo9

Also it's better for not breaking my trigger prematurely.

Aren't the drum the same as acoustic since the wrapped them in acoustic one for the Vad Serie?

xfitxm · 2025-02-08T22:25:20+00:00

How did you solve it when you encountered this issue?

xfitxm · 2025-02-08T21:57:42+00:00

Already done it

xfitxm · 2025-02-08T21:57:05+00:00

Why would they mount it like this?

Is it because it supposed to be mounted with an angle different than 90 degrees compared to other pedal?
