Default Rubber bits for your transmitter sticks?

Anyone remember the rubber covers you put over the sticks on your transmitter for extra grip to stop your thumbs slipping?

Are they still available and if so where from?

They tend to be used with Helis, typically to hold the landing skids in place. Try a set of Align TRex 600 rubbers - these.

Silicone fuel tubing! Try a model aeroplane shop, they usually stock silicone tube, and probably you'll need some used for exhaust pipes. HTH

I think what fatty is referring to are a kind of spongey sleeve that goes over the top of your sticks. I used to have some greeny coloured ones when I races tears ago.

Fatty, why do you want some of these?
