Title: X-55 Rhino - New in Box
Post by: Skyyr on April 29, 2015, 06:54:31 PM
Long story short, someone got me a second one and I have no use for it. It's absolutely new, in the box.

Retail is $199, I'll let it go for $185 shipped. PM me if interested.

Good stick, good price, someone should jump on this. If I were you, Skyyr, I'd have kept it though....

I have one, and like many things about it, especially the split throttle and momentary-on toggle switches.   

I also appreciate being able to change the stick tension by easily changing out the spring.

Me? Not any longer - I just purchased a set of T-pedals from VKB. They should be here sometime in the next two weeks.

Those are the expensive ones, right? wish i could fly with pedal, lost the ability during FA at some point. Heard good things about them.

They're not super-expensive - the shipped cost was $236, not much more than what the Saitek combat pedals cost. The main difference with them is that they have a T-action, which only requires ankle movement (instead of moving your entire leg), so they're reportedly much faster and accurate than traditional pedals.

They're shipped from overseas, so it takes forever for them to arrive. Ordered mine 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting.

Im not interested at this moment as I have a new CH stick. But I am curious. How long you been using it and hows it holding up for you?
Im tired of replacing the CH every other year. Usually due to my hats going bad. To give you some insight. Prior to Christmas I had front and up+front quarter views  Side views. But no rear quarter views for 6 months and no rear views at all in the month of Dec. I think we can agree that those views are kinda important.  And while this one is new. I know its only a matter of time. But I want my next stick to be able to withstand me as I am notoriously tough on everything and one of the reasons why I've toyed with the idea of building my own stick using higher quality moving/contact parts.

I have had mine for almost a year.  so far no problems and I really do like to yank and abuse my stick.  the only problem I found is that I have so many buttons and toggle switches that I forget what I set them up for.

 a word of warning about track ir though . use it in conjunction with hat switch or number pad . i tried it first to cover all my views ,disorientation soon followed even with a quick center button . small head movements work the best with preset views
