Re: VKB Gunfighter MCG Ultimate Axis Jump

I went back into disassembling the unit to check things again; I adjusted some of the wire leads into their plug to ensure it was fully fit -- the red cable did seem like it may not have been fully in. I noticed a strange metallic piece between one of the PCBs and one of the dampeners. After taking ...

VKB Gunfighter MCG Ultimate Axis Jump

Sadly another issue with this device after having cam issues originally: MCG Ultimate (no twist); replaced gimbal assembly with a warranty replacement after initial issues of cam seating/grinding. Used for approx 6 months without issue. Now getting issues on Y-Axis: When I pull the stick slightly to...

Re: New Gunfighter mk3 Cam Alignment and Grinding

I tried that, but it is seated too closely to the internal frame. Practically touching without tension; and again, once spring tension is added, the cam very much rides along the internal frame. There's this looseness of the cam that I just couldn't get rid of. I rolled up a support ticket and worki...

Re: New Gunfighter mk3 Cam Alignment and Grinding

Looking at other user issues: I saw this photo -- https://i.imgur.com/prDMMcz.jpg The difference with this user's situation was that it appears the screw-cam assembly is at a 90 degree angle, but the cam is not. In my case, on the other hand, my cam is close to 90 degrees with the opposite nut on th...

Re: New Gunfighter mk3 Cam Alignment and Grinding

Not great at photos, but focused more on light/res here: the top from center ball bearing, i thought was more over the bearing when I took it, but it does give some view at some things; you can see the alignment is off and more importantly, you can see the cam screw assembly is not 90 degrees throug...

Re: New Gunfighter mk3 Cam Alignment and Grinding

I'm sure you get this issue rolled up a decent bit, and I'm sure there's a number of people that had this issue with tightening. However, at this point, I've tightened to the point that there's metal shavings from the nut and the hex tool is sticking inside the screw head because of stripping. One o...

New Gunfighter mk3 Cam Alignment and Grinding

Running into an issue with a new gunfighter mk3. Immediately installed Space-S cams and 2x 20 Springs. I used VKB's video for reference. It notes to be careful about washers/cam order. I was careful about order, though I found it curious that the parts all fit together differently from the x to y. T...

Re: Gladiator NXT Hat Customization

Update on this: 1) VKB sales was unable to quote/reference a compatible solution. 2) A reddit user of u/Froggerdog in the r/hotas community does some 3D printed custom hats. We coordinated; I merged his models with a trim hat design and he did the printing. The result is great; briefly testing how i...

Gladiator NXT Hat Customization

Regarding Gladiator NXT: As I understand it, currently grips are only swappable on the gunfighter platforms, not the NXT yet. That said, I have desire to change one of the hats: The A4 hat, I would much prefer a hat cap/cover that better resembles the trim button on some real joysticks -- the conica...
