I believe Spektrum (Horizon Hobby) is the only store that will perform this modification. However, this mod is quite easy to perform yourself: DX6 Throttle Return Spring Mod Instructions |

Any store that sells the radio can order you one from horizon with the two centering sticks. I bout mine through a local hobby town and it took about a week.  |

That mod is for the DX6 and NOT the DX6i. The gimbles are different. The mod for the DX6i requires factory parts while the DX6 mod allows you to make the part that you need out of LEXAN or DELRIN and a spring from ace hardware. I have done the DX6 mod....the DX6i is tough to find parts for. Reference this link: Dx6i & DX6 spring return mod Last edited by xirtic; 01-15-2009 at 08:02 PM. | |

Yeah, your best bet would problably be to order it and have Horizon install a second return spring and lever. | |

I sent mine in to have the mod done. I had it back in about a week. They did the work for free. I just needed to pay for shipping 1 way. It works great and is still under warranty.

Have you tried one of the vendors here? I know that RCP Crawlers carries the DX6i. They might be able to have it sent off and then when they get it back, ship it over to you...
