DX6i switches Australia

[thebyson]

Anybody in Australia aware of where I can get replacement switches for my Spetrum DX6i? Can get from HorizonHobby but cost a fortune for shipping.

I dropped mine, didn't have my holder on my neck and fail to engage TH which made me panic!!

I would call Modelflight or... bring the radio to a place like Jaycar... they've lots of toggle switches...may have one that will do the job.

i also broke my F mode switch ( the one that does fixed pitch or idle up - top outer left) on my DX6i and i used this one "Futaba ML-1AFSP" I found at Towerhobbies.com (link: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLP1&P=7. )
If you need the long one, search for "futaba switch" on towerhobbies and you can find it. If you don't like the shipping or prices, you can get the model numbers from tower hobbies and then go search the web. Of course digikey and radio shack are other options, but i don't know about australia/shipping for that stuff.

The picture is correct for the linked one above showing the short length of the physical switch (so it would work for the F mode switch or the dual rate switch, but not the Throttle hold switch). It does not come with the mounting nut thing. So you will have to keep the one from your old switch when you remove it. I used some small needle nose pliers to unscrew the nut. And for the inside, you will have to do your own soldering (or find the perfect blade connectors - i chose soldering).

Good luck

I found Jaycar to be quite useless for these, they did not have the long switches.
