Title: TRON joystick handles
Post by: ripzone on March 19, 2005, 07:13:23 pm

Where can I get Tron handles for my next project?

I remember long time ago a member was selling them.

Thanks!

it depends on how authentic you want.  ponyboy can get the black happs ones for you at a good price, but i do remember someone making them from their own mold in the right colors, but it still wasn't exactly like the tron sticks.  the screws weren't in the same place or something with the home made ones.

They don't need to be authentic.

The black Happ ones are a little BLACK....

Anybody still knows if that guy still sells them?

just to say it again, if you want to save some money but still buy happs parts, ponyboy is the unofficial BYOAC happs distributer.  just send him a pm with the parts you need and he'll send you a pm with his better prices.

I think they are very close the originals.  He made the mold from an original Tron stick so I think the bolts are in the same place.  I have one of his copies and am very happy with it.  I don't have an original to compare either  ???
