Futaba 7c

Post by Jan_Donadoni »

Hello,
I need some help.
I've got a Futaba 7c set. Everything is fine, BUT how to get it out of the mode 1 or 2 scheme?
That is, where to get the springs and leverage system that allow BOTH sticks to return to neutral position? And also, which is the ordering code for Futaba?
I like to drive the single tracks on each stick, but the Tx units are always available only in mode 1 or 2.
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.

Thanks.
It looks it's for the 6EX.
By the way it is not available....

Hello Jan, I obtained my return spring kit, for my 7c, from Mikes Models, Kingstanding, Birmingham. He does mail order...Futaba Spring Return kit for ST 3G, part number Y-MA8036....most good model shops stock these kits.

I found that control of the tank tracks so much easier when both sticks returned to center......Mick

Part Y MA8036. (probably same as 6ex) He can usually get the parts quite quickly. If you have no luck in the UK let me know and I will get one. I will order one myself soon anyway as I have a second 7c

It's NOT the same as the 6EX, I have both and they are different part numbers. MA8036 is the 7c version.
