Spectrum 6 channel Pistol grip with steering wheel
Time has come to Convert my DX6 Transmitter to a 6ch Pistol :yipi: Been wanting to this since last year when I bought it
I will do my best to list details in radios and anything that may help others do the same. I was all gung ho until I found the Differences in radio's: The DX6i has smaller electronics boards than the older DX6 and just uses 4 AA batteries, the Dx6 uses a rechargeable pack. This puts this build into a tough challenge because the LCD PCB board is 4" tall and cannot fit into a standard Pistol style Radio. So if you already have a DX6i you should not need additional project box's to fit the components I think I will use a DX6i instead My options: 1- My first idea was to Use a Game flight controller and use the base for the battery and all the electronics PCB boards and then add a Plastic box on top of the Flight stick to house the Steering wheel and other controls, maybe do some mold making. 2- Sell my D6 and get a DX6i and modify A standard Pistol add a box on the back side for the electronics and LCD. Any idea's or thoughts on this guy's ? http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/s...t/D6170011.jpg http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/s...t/DR230002.jpg http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/s...t/DR230003.jpg DX6 http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/s...X6190001-1.jpg DX6i http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/s...ult/DX6iTX.jpg |
The 6i does look easier to mod... I have a dx6 somewhere I may take the back off and get a better look. Sounds like a fun project. You can pick up the 6i transmitter for about 115-125 new on rcgroups, and maybe a little less used.
