Need help with stick connectors

Postby thunder686 » Tue Jun 04, 2019 16:56

Please see the attached pictures. I can't get my GMC Pro to work with my Gunfighter Tabletop base. The Gunfighter Space stick works just fine. It has pins for the connector and the GMC Pro has a flat surface for its connector just like the base. Is there some type of adapter I can get?

And what kind of grip MCG ordered for their base GunFIghter? You have a Rev.B base, and a grip for Rev.A. Either you did not choose the correct version, or you were sent the wrong thing. Write to the seller and check it out.

Thanks for the reply, more than likely I ordered the wrong part. I don't think that they sell just the base anymore so I'll sell the grip and buy another grip and base together. Thanks again!

You should write all the same and describe the situation - perhaps they can send only the contact plate in the grip of the desired version. To unscrew the locking screw and replace. I think, it will not be an enormous effort.

We can get the connector on its way to you - it costs next to nothing (but shipment is still a pain). Write to s a l es @ v k b-sim. pro (remove spaces) and put a link to this very thread in your message. Replacing the connector is no space science, too.
Best Regards,

For when the time comes, I've attached the MCG disassembly quick guide to this post. Once you have opened the grip up, the only thing to remove is the connector itself via its two screws, and detach its cable from the PCB. Next, install the new connector, connect its wire to the PCB, and reassemble the grip halves.
