DX6i scroller

Post by DOG »

Hey all. I was in the middle of adjusting my pitch curves and my scroll roller broke on my DX6i :cry: . Can this scroller be fixed or replaced or is it time for a new TX? :? . I glued the part back in place but won't know if it will work till later on this morning. The TX is already 6 yrs old and been drop a few times. :oops: I guess is time to keep up with the Kardashinian and purchase a new DX6. I should of bought a new Heli with all the money I've been spending on electronics in the last couple of weeks. New AR7300BX/ Hobbywing 50a V3 with program box/ 3 KST 215 mg/ and now it looks like a new TX. Who said " Big boys don't cry" well....... I'm :cry: I love this hobby but my wallet is another story. :( :lol:

Normally it breaks from pressing the roller at the bottom.
The switch is at the top of the roller, so just to let others know, always press at the top
Being 6 years old Dog, i'm guessing yours is just wear and tear :)
There use to be a place that made metal replacements.
But they are easy to fix.
If its thr little axle that spins inside the momentary switch. You can just drill it out, and replace with a cut off from and old allen key.

I replaced the roller on mine as it stopped clicking. Just contacted Horizon UK and they sent me one for free :)

Thanks for that information Graham Lawrie. So far the glue is working fine. I contacted Horizon. Not for a roller but to order a new DX6 TX. I fixed a couple of things already on the DX6i plus being 6yrs old, it was time for a new TX. Should be here by the weekend.
