Wudup, Ive been a long time reade of these forums. I started wih a MPC 2000Xl, Sold it for a 1000. Bought a 1000 off of eBay. Bought the Blue, Red one off ebay. Didnt know about the pad design flaw. Didnt feel like waitng on a list for some decent pads so I sold my 1000 (and another 2000Xl i got from my cousin). And bought a 2500 for 930, 939.95 plus shipping off eBay. Ive heard alot about the piece of sh!t jog wheel and im curious. Would it be possible to put the jog wheel from the 2000Xl on the 2500? The 2000XL jog wheel feels so good. :)

Open it up, check out the internal parts for the wheel, if they are within the same specs, take a shot at at it.

Get busy.

What about trying it out yourself and find out what you think about the wheel?

Don't be scared or worried. Wait until the 2500 jog wheel breaks before you go tearing apart your MPC, there's really no need to, just because you 'heard' the 2500 wheels sucks. If you use it like a respectable person (ie not turning it with your elbow or some shit) you shouldn't have a problem.
