It appears there are only 2 different sources to pick up a spinner: Currently debating on picking one up from either from Ultimarc or GG....the Ultimarc I notice that there is no separate PCB required and it's all built into the spinner were as for the Turbo Twist 2, a separate PCB - connection board is provided. So 1 point for Ultimarc which will be cleaner for installation. A bit put off that for the Ultimarc, I have to purchase the bottom weight and a control know separately - $99 vs $69 for TT2. I'm not sure how 'good' is the default included knob offered in the TT2, but was thinking of getting the black rubber one - anyone know of the diameter sizes of the various knobs? I know that the standard included one is 1 1/4" |

The TT2 Energy Storage Cylinder (ESC) is a $5.95 option. I'm very happy with mine, especially since a button wrench will fit over the ESC to snug down the TT2. ;D --- Quote from: Richardgregory on September 30, 2013, 09:55:52 am ---I'm not sure how 'good' is the default included knob offered in the TT2, but was thinking of getting the black rubber one - anyone know of the diameter sizes of the various knobs?

The only down-side to the standard and black rubber knobs is that the bodies are plastic, unlike the higher cost (and higher quality) premium knobs -- don't over-torque the setscrew. If you're considering the steering wheel option, spring for the 7" model. Scott |

I've got a GGG TT2 on my 2-Player Cab, with the premium Black Aluminum knob and the flyweight. Fantastic piece of kit. |

FWIW, I have a TT2 with the "Red Dome" knob option and love it. Nice hefty knob and is 1 and 5/8" diameter. Never had a single problem with it in 2 years of service. Made my own flyweight but probably didn't need it. |

Ooops, my mistake - I didn't see that picture of the Ultimarc with the PCB interface attached - hmm, it is smaller than the TT2's too, so that's kind of nice. My local vendor is selling Ultimarc's flyweights more than half the price for the TT2 - go figure. Thanks for all the information on the knobs - question though: if I order the TT2, they automatically give you the stock knob and they don't replace it if I order a different knob do they? |
