Default DX5, DX6, DX7 center stick peices?

I have a extra dx5 that doesnt work and was wondering if i could get rid of the parts in it like the plastic peices, springs, and screws to make the sticks center. Does anyone sell these parts? and how much do you think these peices are worth? I just dont want to throw them away.





Thanks
Ryan

LOL

well i assume its like my DX7, so there are not many spare parts...

because you have to send it to horizon for repairs that generate revenue.....

Now, you just may have the parts needed to make any other 5ch radio you like granted its not fried.

i bet once you made that, you could sell it!

Yeah i know the only thing that would be worth taking off is the toggles. And i figured there has to be some guys out there that would like to make there dx's with out cruise control I seen in a thread but cant remember which one where some one supplies the peices to center the left stick (throttle). I have a couple sets and was wondering if anyone could and would want to use them.

I got a dx6 I want to switch. I'd be interested in the parts! There was a guy making the piece for the dx6i but I hear the dx5/6 is different? I haven't taken it apart to look at yet. If anyone has any knowledge I am all ears!

I have the dx6 and a dx6i as well as the dx5e. I have not opened the dx6i, so I don't know if the dx5e parts would work in it. I just know they wont work in the dx6.

Is the battery cover on the DX5 the same as on the DX6? I may have broken mine

No. I think the DX5 and the DX6i have the same battery door, but the DX6 is long and skinny where the DX5 is almost square.

I just mod my dx7 throttle using a spring and the "rocker" piece from a Hirobo XRB transmitter. Now onto programmable mixing.
