Hitec Optic 6 : Ratchet on Throttle

[jeznewsome]

Need a bit of advice.

I have been flying my TRex and Belt-CP with the Optic 6 but have been finding the ratchet throttle too coarse....so a quick delve into the back of the tx and I removed the spring steel that creates the ratchet.

Now I have a smooth throttle throw but I am worried that there is not enough friction now. Is there a better way of removing the ratchet without removing all the stick friction?

Hi,

When I got my Optic 6 it came with an alternative spring steel plate that gave you some resistance but no ratcheting. I presume you didn't? You could always try refitting the original but with a piece of tubing over the end so you can't feel the ratchet and then bending to adjust the tension!

If you call Hitec, they will send you a new non-ratcheting spring. I had to do that for my Eclipse 7. Great people Hitec. I just wish they had been able to get their 9 channel out.

Or push a bit of fuel tubing over the spring
