I've got a cheap Futaba 2 channel pistol grip, T2PH. I'm trying to remove the wheel to see if I can rig the wheel assembly up in my Sensor. Can't see how the hell the wheel is held on there, don't want to break it so I'm radio-less.
Any help?

Is there a cover in the center of the wheel? If so, just pop the cover off to reveal a screw inside.

Yeah some how you get the little silver cover off. Then there is a phillips screw under it. Try picking at it with little screwdrivers. If that doesn't work drill through the cover then pry the cover off. Or simply drill the hole, remove the screw. The Magnum JR I had uses the same wheel with no cover.

Yeah, thats what I thought but I wanted to confirm beforehand. I've been known to destroy a thing or two trying to take it apart and it's my only functional radio at this point as sad as that is.
Thanks!
