Default Spektrum Stick Transmitter

Got the idea from Anthony Potter who has been running the DX6i for a while. Cant believe no one else does this! These trannies are so cheap. You can buy a new tranny from ebay for £79.99 and receivers are £7!!! The range on the receivers is ridiculous and they are really good.

All it takes is a simple 4 screws to turn round the throttle pod 90 degress and swap 3 wires round and job done. A bit of superglue to fix the unwanted movement in the sticks and its sorted. The sticks are farly long but can be cut down to suit. Has all the options of the top radios around and loads of extras aswell. I now have the switches set up so I can adjust the expo and D/R to whatever i want to set it to at the flick of a switch.

Had a futaba before but with receivers at £60+ I thought id try this out.

If your looking for a cheap 2.4 sticks option but want all the features of a top radio i would highly recommend!

You cant tighten the ratchet enough on the dx6i plus there isnt a ratchet on the steering side. It was either make something to stop them or glue. Seing as i wasnt planning to ever want to use the radio for anything other than a car then glue was the easiest and quickest soloution.
