Futaba 6ex left stick

Roy Pickavance · Post by **Roy Pickavance** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 4:07 pm

Hi all,
I have read somewhere that Futaba do a kit to make the left stick self centre in both planes of movement like the right stick does.
It would be a great help if someone knew were to get them from.
Regards to all Roy

Hi Roy

I called Futaba U.S. directly and ordered one for my 6EX and one for my 7C. It was easy and they were only about $3.50 each. Simple to install as well. It says "inside U.S. only" but maybe there is a Futaba U.K. with a similar support number?

If you cannot locate them, let me know I have to order one for a friend in Australia anyways and it would be simple enough to get two at the same time, and mail one to you.

Let me know if you do not have any luck.
Best regards
Tim

Roy,

Ripmax are the UK agent for Futaba. You need the "Spring Return Kit" for a 6EX.

Their email address is: Service@Ripmax.com

They're not the quickest to reply to emails but very helpful when they do get to you.

Technobots used to sell the kit but I can't see it on their website. It might be worth giving them an email as well.

Adrian.

Roy,

If you want one I have a spare 6 ex transmitter that I used the motherboard out of so have 3 spare stick return parts. If you want to email me with your address I will post one off to you, free of charge.
