I know they sell Black, Grey, and Yellow Replacement pads for mpcs, but where can I find out how to install these replacement pads, i was thinking about putting the black pads on a mpc2500, i cant find information on how to actually install them, like do i i have to unscrew the mpc and take it apart?? how do you get the pads on?? and do they sell reds pads anywhere??

well if someone can help me, how do i install new pads??

You mean rubber pads. DONT REMOVE THE PAD SHEET thats the actual sensor sheet but im pretty sure u knew that shednar u just prolly worded it wrong.

But ne ways www.vstservice.com sells the pads as you prolly already know but they are out of RED for now. They quit saleing them but just contact Nick anyways there cause he might have a few extra around. You never know.

You just have to unscrew a couple of screws to remove the side handles, the front cover (the one with the CF slot in it) and the top cover. In that order. Just try it, you can't break much.

looks like replacing pads on 2500 is a breeze, unlike 1000 where every pad has a clamp holding it down with 4 screws in it. pain in the ass...

Yo Stilo

i was lookin at how you took apart that 2500

one question though, howd u get the q link sliders off? do they just snap off?

Cus it looks like you had to remove those in order to get the top panel off

Yea, you just have to pull off the caps. Should go easy. There's a small rubber spacer underneath them as well, take care not to lose that.
