@TMH and @mtndragon : Mine had no issues wi math setting 24 today. 24 is definitely max and it acted like any other setting.
Other FX experts - need some help. The power wheel didn’t want to turn when I tightened it down fully. So, I left it just a “smidge” loose. Then I noticed that the power wheel was coming loose later and had to be tightened up. I never had that issue with the old one, but I know I’ve seen reports of that. Couldn’t find what I was looking for earlier searching for the remedy. Any advice on how to tighten that wheel down and get it to turn but not come loose?

Using a o-ring on the countersunk screw helps it from not backing out, happy medium on tightening on the tiny o-ring will do.

There normally is a VERY small O-Ring right at the end of the screw threads. I is extremely small and easy to miss/loose if it comes off the end of the screw.

You could get a slightly longer screw and slowly and carefully reduce the length until the screw bottoms out at the desired tension holding the wheel. My Impact MK II power plenum had this problem with too a screw from the factory. A little dab of some purple thread lock helps.

To be honest there is no O ring in the Crown specs for that area but it seems to help, those little one off the FX mag work great
