Futaba 3VC/VCS

[oggdog]

Am after a Futaba 3VC or 3VCS that is not working for spares as I require, specifically, the complete steering gimbol. Any one have a broken one to sell with the steering stick working?

I have a 3vcs that the screen has stopped working on would take £55 for it or alternatively if you have a good 3vcs screen i would buy that off you

I have an old 3vc.
Worked perfectly until I fried the charging circuits...

Yours for £20 posted?

Hi Col,

Sorry to only just reply, but only just been back on oople and seen your reply.

One question, does it have digital trims on throttle and steering sticks or the mechanical type (should know this as I used to have a 3VC before I got the VCS but can't remember) as the VCS has the digital type?

Many thanks,

Mike.

It's digi pal.
It's exactly the same as the 3vcs in appearance, except the screen. The internal electronics are different, but I would imagine the mechanics are the same.
Give me 30min to "mod" the rest of the section and I'll take a pic...

The mechanics between a 3VC and VCS are the same (including all of the switches/knobs/gimbles but the printed circuit boards and screen are totally different.

Thanks Neil. That was my understanding.

Here's the pics:









Assuming you want it, what you see is exactly what you'd get.
I ran it on 2.4 for around 2 months before I fried it. It worked perfectly - I liked it that much I bought a 3vcs which I still use today.

It's just sat in a cupboard (and has been for around 2 years) so there's no rush for you to decide if you want it.
