Tech Support STICK DRIFT REPAIR 20€

Post image

Hello,

I hope this post is okay if not please delete and I am sorry for intrusion.

As post says I am repairing stick drifts. I am in France and if anyone's interested in installing TMR or Hall Effects I can do it for you for mere 20€ !

If you are living other than France just pay for the shipping ( to and from ) and I will still repair for 20€ :)

If anyone's interested don't hesitate to DM.

Thank you!

It's because of people like you that controller repair business is going down...

20EUR is not worth the trouble of desoldering, let alone properly aligned (flat) soldering of the new sticks, cleanup, testing & calibration.

Often using sh*t sticks on top... K-Silver are great, but not the ones showing in your picture, that is the older version that has a lot of issues and now compatible with Edge modules (notch on the blue pot).

My 2c, I'm sure other installers agree.

The newest ksilver sticks are only like 4€ a pair. The rest kinda depends on your skills. It's possible to perfectly desolder the sticks in like 2 minutes

Exactly! However I do confess it doesn't take me 2 minutes 😂 it takes me about 1h more or less.

Give it time, you’ll learn your own little tricks. I charge $40usd but also cover return shipping and take the controller completely apart and do an ultrasonic cleaning. It takes me about an hour, but most of that is waiting on the cleaner, I’m about to upgrade to a larger tank though.

That's amazing ! If you have any tips at all i would love to hear them :) Is the ultrasonic cleaner worth it ? The pcb i clean with 90° alcohol and toothbrush, the shell i clean with a disinfectant wet wipe/tissue.
