Happ super joystick - how to remove the battop
« on: December 16, 2012, 08:49:22 am »
Is the battop for a super joystick molded onto the shaft? I can't figure out how to remove it. I have a ball top that is threaded and I wanted to remove the battop to see if there were threads underneath. Using 2 sets of pliers, the shaft and battop just spins around. Any suggestions on how to remove it, or can you tell me if there are threads underneath?

It doesn't come off, it is molded onto the shaft.

Basically all joysticks with the American style bolt pattern are that way.

Thats what I needed to know. Thanks dude! (also, that sucks) I have a few balltops from tornado terry, is there anywhere I can buy just the shafts?
