[NSRCA-discussion] JR long gimbal stick

[Troy Newman]

Actually the thread in the sticks is identical on the 12X as the 9303 and 10X they are the same internal diameter.

 

The problem is the 12X gimbal  was changed and the threaded length is not as long as the older style gimbal. On the 12X the stick have threads the entire length. The older style sticks have about 3/8” of non threaded portion then the threads start inside the stick.  If you try and use the Long Red JR sticks the 34mm ones they will not screw on the 12X gimbal because the threads do not contact.

 

What you can do and I have done it on my 12X is cut about 1/8” off the bottom of the aluminum stick. Then it will thread on and work just fine. The length is then about the same as when used on the 9303 or 10X. The only problem is they will not thread go shorted as they will bottom out on the gimbal.

 

The newer octagon shaped 12X stick both the ones that comes on the TX stock and the newer long and short versions will work just fine on all the 9303’s and 10X’s out there. These have the threads all the way down on the inside of the stick. It’s the same thread and will work. You can actually make them longer than the older style because the threads go all the way down.

 

I have been flying the older style red 34mm sticks since the 12X came out. Just a little modification and they work great. There is a short straight diameter section right at the bottom of the aluminum stick…Remove this constant diameter part and the older style sticks will thread right on. The other versions of the JR sticks that are colored and all will work also on the 12X they are the same thread. 

 

The only ones that are a problem are the super long ones that have the larger diameter.

 

Hope this answers the confusion.

I can post up a photo if needed.

I am using the long gimbals for the 12x. they are the same length as the ones for a 9303 but are a different diameter for connecting to the TX. You cannot mix a match the two types of gimbals for the TX's. JEZ

Does anyone know how long is the JRPA146 long gimbal stick for JR 12X?

Does 12X has different diameter for gimbal stick?

Trying to figure out if it fits on 9303.  

 

Thanks,
