Transmitter stick covers

[daz75]

My lads are complaining about the fact their thumbs hurt when using the sticks on their trimesters can't seem to find anything on eBay or the Web any ideas?

you could file the end of the sticks down, or I have seen someone using the rubber sucker ends from a toy bow and arrow on the sticks???

Heat shrink over them,that's what I used on my GeminiX. Got a Z now and they are ok.

Sometimes people put fuel tube on them, worth considering trying to relax their grip a bit a too.

I use the plastic covers that are used on new car fuel filters (big cars that is ) might be worth you asking your local garage for some as they are thrown away after fitting . They are usually made of a really soft plastic/rubber stops my little fingers hurting anyway.

neck strap takes away a lot of grip issues, I use one as Im suffering with loss of grip and various issues believed to be fibromyalgia

I found that a strap took the weight of the TX and as a result I wasnt gripping it with a death grip and cramping up or sweating like a whore in a church LOL

heat shrink didnt work too well, was too small to fit over it so cut it then it didn't shrink enough

[brooksy]

Depending on how big the heat shrink is you could put some small pointed pliers in it and open them up to stretch it. Failing that keep an eye out at Aldi,they sometimes do boxes of heat shrink in lots of different sizes👍

+1 for the neck strap - have recently started using one after racing for 30 years as I found that my arms would drop during a race, with the transmitter disappearing South. The neck strap takes away the need to hold the transmitter as tight and leaves your thumbs free to do the important stuff

Already using neck straps

Sugru.
One sachet should do all 4 tips. And you can shape it to match their fingers.

I did it with the trigger on my last radio.
