Foam / Rubber grip for transmitter wheel
 
I have an Absima CR3P as well as my sons Absima CR2S transmitter both of which have a foam grip on the wheel. Both of them have suffered perishing of the foam so I need to replace, but I don't seem to be able to find spares.
Does anyone know what I ought to be googling or where to get the parts?
The foam is 45mm inner diameter if that helps?

Thanks in advance.

Chris....a bit obvious I know but have you contacted Absima....?

I sent them an email a few months back, but never heard back, although with other things on my mind at moment, I haven't chased it.
In actual fact, I had hoped to find an alternative to the Absima foam as it does seem to have perished quite quickly, while the Sanwa foam on my mt4 feels much nicer. I just wondered if there was any after market stuff, but not immediately found any.
See you soon Alan

Cheers for this. I had found a few in USA, and also he redrc one is in stock at MB but it doesn't say what the inner foam of foam is. I'll give them a ring tomorrow I think

MB also do this one which should fit most trannies..!
Some of those images are great... I had one of the star type finger grip ones on a Futaba magnum back in the day....!

This might sound really daft, but I have no idea what these are. I have tried googling them and find links to 1:8 as well as 1:12 scale and lots of different types.
Can you possibly post a link to what you have used and I will look into this. Thanks
