Apologies for the delayed reply, my account on this board is all messed up so I had to create a new one; I have answered all your questions below; --- Quote --- SpamMe How long will the finish last in a high-use environment? --- End quote --- (Since the Anodizing process actually grows a layer on the aluminum which is harder then the aluminum itself and is extremely tolerant to wear and tear, it is expected to be in the "years" range.) --- Quote --- grueinthebox How tall (long) is the combined shaft and ball top on these things? I notice your old sticks say they're 1/4" LONGER than the original Happ part... Any chance of getting something maybe a bit shorter? I'd personally like something about 1/4-1/2" shorter than the standard Happ stick... --- End quote --- (The new shafts with the new balls installed are the same 1/4 higher as the previous joysticks. As for a lower joystick, I may be able to make you a custom set. Once they are released email me at info@slikstik.com if you are interested and i will see what i can do.) --- Quote --- Bgnome is it just me, or does that shaft look like it might have a hollow area through the center? --- End quote --- (The hole that you see in the photo is not actually a hole, it |

Until then, I'll just "stick" with my Sanwa sticks (har har). ;) Thanks for the advice, though! |

Looks pretty cool :) A few questions: 1) Would these work / could they be made to work with a Happ 49-way stick? I don't know if the shafts are the same as any of the 8-way sticks, but it looks very similar. I have a Happ 49-way so could take some measurements if it would be any help... 2) Could the top of the shaft be turned down and threaded in order for a Sanwa plastic ball-top to be attached? What I mean is use the same thread on the ball-tops as existing plastic ball-tops (maybe the Happ shaft is too fat for this to be possible / look right?). Alternatively could you supply plastic ball-tops to fit? I don't really care for the anodised look personally... |

im curious how that onion peel feel of anodized aluminum is going to go over in sweaty hands.. I do like the idea of aluminum overall as a substrate. i own a SS bat top on a happ360 optical and its just to much stick for me.. aluminum imho is a much better choice of material. you can polish it to a nice 15-32 finish like the SS and enjoy the light weight.. all the cosmetic appeal with nonoe of the negative RTC problems |
