Feeler - FlySky GT3B Steering Wheel Lift Kit

[monkeyracer]

I wanted to put this out there to see what you guys thought about JC Auto Design possibly offering something like this:









It always bugged me that the wheel dropped so far down on these, so I printed this lift kit back in May, and it's held up ever since.

This works with the traxxas bearing mod, but would require de-soldering then re-soldering the steering potentiometer in order to install the new pieces, so it's not for everyone. (I am considering a service to have this done for you, but need to figure the logistics out.)

As a note, the steering wheel itself is an aftermarket part I installed, the piece mentioned here is what is behind it mounted to the radio body.

I can't discuss price here, but I am thinking this would be an affordable option for those that want to get a little different ergonomics and aesthetics from their GT3B.

What do you guys think?

depends on the pricing ; great idea though

I freakin love GT3b so far but a thought to putting the ch 3 trim and the ch3 button on the hub like the footaba radios would really get it in the game.

If you could print up something that would allow me to drive one handed like you can with a 3pl or 4pl I would order it right now. Not being able to easily "one hand" it is my only complaint about the flysky radios.

I agree 100%

can the thumb reach the steering wheel with this mod ?

I must have a short thumb...
or the GT3-C design is designed for greater apes

With my older radio designs
I was able to use my thumb to hold
and even maneuver the wheel.
But it seems all the newly designed radios
ignore us with that short thumb syndrome

Forum rules prevent pricing info, (and I don't have a price figured out just yet) but think under $20-25...

Hmm... That would be possible, but definitely a lot of work to get that done... Those switches are actually larger than I thought they would be.

So you guys would like to see something that moved the wheel closer to the hand grip? That may look a little funky, but is possible... I might play with that, because that is a good idea. I can just barely reach the wheel with my thumb, but don't have the control I would want to say it can be done one-handed...

Yes closer to the hand grip. It's not about control it's about relaxing the arms when on a trail ride with a slow crawler. You can drop the arm and drive while sipping on a drink. When it gets tricky then both hands are mandatory.

I would love to have mine set up like this, also. And I have STS (short thumb syndrome) as well so it'd have to be offset a fair distance.

One hand mod would be great!

This is an old thread, but did anyone ever figure out a mod so the GT3-C can be used with one hand? I didn't realize how often I steer my 3PL by thumb until I started using the FS.

I wonder what things would be like if I invented a thumblonger
