Hitec Gimbals for Aurora Radio available

Ok I was sneaky… They’re not available yet.

For this to work I need to be able to sell them for $20.95 each. They are very nice! You can make them center on one or both axis and have ratcheting on vertical enabled or disabled. They come with small white JST connectors installed. If people chime in here I will order them in, but if there is no interest I may pass.

Cool! 8)

Thats a very useful feature. That would make the modifications I did to the left joystick on the DIY remote much easier.

They look nice!

3rd pot on rotate stick?

Can you also carry the matching connectors? (although I have some JST types).

They’ve been ordered a while now. I should have them in a month or so. I will also have a couple cases to mount them into. I’ve got some things in the works that look very promising.

Hi Robot Dude,

Do you have some dimensions of thoses ?

Like the dimension of the round center hole. then the position of the screw ?

I would like to make the drawing to thoses specs…!

Tanks a lot

1.929" (49mm) for the circle. 1.77" (45mm) for the screw mounting holes.

Wow… that’s exacly the same as mine… !!

What a wonderfull world…!!!

Tanks RobotDude for the info

Hey Jim,

What’s the status of these things?

I believe last word was June… :frowning:

Jim,
Any update on the expected date for the joysticks? It is only a couple of days until July.

Nothing yet. I will inquire again. I know Hitec is out of stock on many servos and are trying to recover from some material shortages. When things are running smoothly they are usually late. lol

I have received word that the gimbals will be here in 3 weeks! 8)

Thats great… been waiting to replace the ones i have

Gimbals are available now!

Hi all,
Here is an interesting review of the Aurora Gimbals: rcmodelreviews.com/aurora9issues.shtml
Might want to keep this issue in mind if you plan to use Aurora Gimbals in you custom RC control panel.

Interesting article. It’s not exactly relevant with us as we aren’t using the Hitec electronics. But it is an interesting read.

Does anyone know how these compare to the 2 function joysticks at servocity: servocity.com/html/2_functio … k_sti.html ?
