Hi Kevin,
Quick question is it easy to install the self centering lever in the 9x and what spring do you you use (I have some HL radio springs)

Cheers
Gra

Hi Gra

I doubt there can be a more simple task. Use Heng Long springs and if you have any spare send them to me please. Will swap for resin item or whatever.

Install lever -loop a small bit of wire/string thru one end of the spring - use tweezers to place the other end on catch - use wire/string to pull spring up and over lever. If using Heng Long springs they are shorter than the 9x ones - SO back off on the silver screw that is near where the spring is. This adjusts up and down the bottom catch of the spring. Very little spring tension is needed

Cheers
KG

Hi Kevin,
Just done the centering lever mod to my Turnigy, as you said easy peasy and adjusted the tension screw. Works well and now I know I'm in neutral gear and not moving forwards or back slowly running into things lol.
I found the springs I had so will send them up to you (might want to PM me your address again)
Thanks again Kevin.

Cheers
Gra
