Sanwa TX repair in the UK
Anybody able to replace the steering potentiometer on a Sanwa Gemini X?
I've contacted Model Radio Workshop already but he can't help. I don't fancy sending it off to LRP in Germany, which is the official Sanwa response. Cheers |

If you're handy with a soldering iron have a go yourself. You just need an identical pot, same resistance and range of angle. 3 wires and it's done.
You might even find it's not the pot once it's opened up, might be as daft as a wire off or the pot jumped off somehow.

Swapping it is easy, finding the correct spec part isn't.

Give me the specs then Neal - see if I can have more luck.
Someone obviously makes them or they wouldn't have been installed in the first place.

Could of sworn his son said he was still doing it when I was speaking to him at the indoor season. Maybe not

Cheers guys.
It's definitely the pot. If I swap channels on the rx the steering, through the throttle stick, is fine. It's not dead all together but it kind of "glitches" for want of a better word when moved slowly. All the wires are ok as I had it apart last night. Finding a pot might be the next step if no one else can help. |
