Happ Competition mods for easier diagonals?
« on: March 02, 2020, 06:52:25 am »
Does anyone know of simple effective ways to increase the size of square actuators, or other mods that could work for Competition sticks to make diagonals easier?

Change it for a stick with a octagonal gate.
Thats why I use Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks now :)

Yes..
Im wondering what can be done with what I already have though, as far as modifications...

Are there any simple known or feasible ways of bridging the distance to make switches activate sooner? (Other than duct tape?)

I’d probably try 3D printing a larger actuator if anything.

But seriously, I’ve been there. In the end, buying the ILs was the best move I made.
