Tron centering grommet

(1/2) > >>

Encryptor:
Does anyone know if the centering grommet in the happ version Tron stick will work in an original Tron joystick?

MinerAl:
Do you mean the Happs "heavy duty trigger stick?"  It will work, but it's an 8-way restrictor.  You pretty much have to find an original, or convince one of our fabricating friends to make a new one to get a real TRON restrictor.

He asked about the grommet.

I KNOW that the grommets will swap between the Tron, Discs of Tron, and Xenophobe sticks.
I'm not sure about the Happ ones though because I don't have one of those to the best of my knowledge.

I THINK they are the same as the Xenophobe sticks, except that they use microswitches in place of the leafswitches, but I can't swear to it.

NO!!! MinerAl was entirely correct in his answer!! The original TRON restrictor (Gromet) is entirely different to the others. It's a 4 way restrictor, that is made of rubber and because it's made of rubber you can hit the diagonal 8 way positions if you push really hard towards the corners.

The rest of the sticks DOT, HAPP etc etc have 8 way restrictors.

Encryptor asked about the centering grommet, not the restrictor.

My recollection matches NoOne's, although I only have Tron stick bits now.

Cheers
