Title: Can you use Ultimarc Ultrastik 360s with SlikStik Replacement handles?
Post by: Anubis_au on April 11, 2007, 08:14:44 am

Hi

Simple question for a noob:

Can you use Slikstik custom metal replacement handles with the Ultimarc Ultrastik 360 joystick? (best of both worlds scenario). For that matter, could you replace it with Happ Competition handles?

Just want to know... If I am to do this (build an arcade) I want to go all-out...

Any assistance is, as always, appreciated.

SlikStik handles are too heavy for U360.
Why you want use these ugly handles instead beautiful Sanwa handle? You can buy excellent Seimitsu bubble ball and replace ball only.
Tops are unscrewed. You can use balls or bats.

Why the option of Slikstik replacement handles? Cos those metal sticks look damn nice.

Why the option of Happ replacment handles? Colour co-ordination.

Not that I have an issue with black handles, but colour is always nice...

And as an aside, I prefer bat handles to ball... but that's just me...

However, I do not believe that you can replace U360 sticks with any replacement stick that I know of. As Destructor stated you may only change ball tops or bat tops respectively. Maybe an engineer type could mod an after market stick to work, but I bet it would be kinda more than what it is worth.

 :dunno

Then I have my answer...

Its not a major issue, just asking for purely cosmetic reasons.

Thanks for the info, guys.

One design decision down, 20,000 to go... but boy am I enjoying this :P

Nice, but I prefer bat tops, so looks like I will be sticking to black.
