Hello members,
Feeling so good to be back to civilization after months in the oil fields...
I was building and modifiying my CH53 frame in my spare time ( will post pics later)

Does anyone know any hobby shop selling toggle switches that are used for Tx's?

Would appreciate any help.

thanks and regards,

Dorwin..

NB: really feels good to be back, am reading and reading all the posts now, good going guys..

Not sure about local sources, but I have been getting them for local friends (Qatar) from RadioSouthRC.

They also carry other TX parts (like I got the back case for a Futaba 9C for someone).  Just email tony -AT- radiosouthrc.com.  Mind you that shipping is costly, I combined stuff for various people to get around it.

thanks Anwar, Radio South is very costly, let alone the shipping..I will try some local sources, do you have any knowledge about these switches being used on cars? any particular ones?
I seen some being used on the Tadano Cranes, will check tomorrow..lets see..

Appreciate!!

U can find this toggle switch from ur local Electronics shop not electrical.
I have bought this  in 8.00 INR

all original futaba switches are available

Mr. Sultan, well if I was in India, I would'nt have posted this thread! I tried searching every nook and corner here in Kuwait...alas!!

Akky, thanks mate, I think you have just made my search easier, I will go for this!!
Thanks again!!!

The problem I faced was that only the 2 position switch was available locally in Qatar, and even that did not have the right threads to put the lock nut.  So does the INR8 ones have the right threads for the lock nuts ?  If so, this is great news   And the 3 position ones are also available ?

Welcome back

Welcome back

Thanks Rajath!

Anwar bhai,
These switches are available locally at any electronics and Rickshaw spare parts shops,  and they have a variety to choose too, would not be knowing the cost of it though..
But one thing I don't know is, why the Middle East is so limited in some resources..
Anyways, Akky pointed me to towerhobbies, think I will go with them.

It is good to know the exact match is available.  Of course this TYPE of switches are seen in older automobiles (Ambassadors, Premier Padminis etc).

I had added reasons to order couple of times from RadioSouthRC, as I also needed the back case of Futaba 9C, the battery cover of another 9C etc for various people.

Dorwin, welcome back! Where were you hibernating all these days???

sleeping mare?
i thought you forgot about RCI or smth

@Control flyer
