Title: Some ServoStik Questions...
Post by: javeryh on May 18, 2018, 11:02:47 am

How much space do I need under a CP for a ServoStik assuming I bottom mount it?  Thanks.

Just measured mine and it was about 1 3/4 inch or about 45mm. I replaced the restrictor plate screws with longer ones so you might be able to do 1 1/2 inch if you want it really snug.

Thanks a lot.  I may need to make some design changes now!  I have about 1-3/4" total right now to work with but probably don't want to cut it that close.

Worth the effort. I was quite chuffed with mine (",)

yeah - I've read nothing but good things.  I'm probably only going to have 50 or so games in this cab I've been kicking around but it will be a mix of 4-way and 8-way and vertical and horizontal games so this joystick seems like the best solution...

Worth mentioning that they may need a little attention out of the box. I wrote about mine at the end of this thread:

Thanks - I'll definitely keep this in mind when I install my stick.  Very helpful!  :cheers:

So.... the ServoStik is supposed to come with the motor, right?  Mine showed up blank.  The restrictor plate was there but not the motor.

Edit: Never mind. Andy took care of it!
