Transmitter Thumb Grips - M3 & M4

thingiverse

Yet another grippy... but these are pretty nice for DIY. ;) I designed these stick ends for my "lowered thumber" grip preference, but you can use jam nuts to raise them if you prefer. I uploaded 2 different versions to fit standard M3 and M4 brass threaded inserts (5mm and 6mm holes). Brass inserts press in with a friction fit, no glue necessary. I designed the M4 version to fit a stock TX16s stick, such that it can still be lowered all the way with an M4 jam nut underneath. I also tested the M3 version on a Jumper T-pro; to get the sticks as low as possible you have to leave off the M3 nut; they have not come loose without a nut in my testing. Of course, these grips may work on other transmitters with M3 or M4 threads. In case it helps, I printed mine with Siraya Blu on my Sonic Mini 4k printer, using Siraya recommended settings (4.5sec exposure etc...). FWIW, I've flown rc and fpv since the mid 80's with "standard sticks". So I was very reluctant to play with my sticks. It literally only took less than a minute of flying with these sticks before I was fully sold. It is a night and day difference; with these sticks I felt way more in control, especially during more aggressive maneuvering. So if you're also an 'rc old timer' who is reluctant to try different sticks... I highly recommend giving some of this new tech a shot. Depending on your grip these particular sticks may not work out, but the point is you don't want to miss out on better/more comfy controls over the next 10years of flying. Keep 'em rippin'!
