I wasn't saying that it would work on Tron. I was saying that the Xeno sticks are the same stick as the Happ, but use leafswitches, and are alot cheaper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doc, You really should try turning your top restrictor 45 degrees. They are the same size as the Tron ones, but are just turned differently. You'll have to cut two corners off to turn it, but it will work. The top restrictor is the important one. The lower restrictor is just cheap plastic, and helps guide the actuator. The top restrictor is the one that takes all the abuse. |

I made a Tron stick out of a Happs Super and a blue trigger handle from an analog Mac stick. I haven't tried this yet, but wouldn't it be possible to shave the hourglass shaped thinggy (that's the technical term) so that it would hit the corners, but only barely? Seems like it'd be possible with trial and error to find a happy medium. Just a thought. I'll let the board know once I have the free time to try it. |

Thanks for all the suggestions guys...Paige/Kremmit steered me the right way. Did some testing and we're going with 2 of top-fire sticks that Randy sells. Cheap and effective. |
