Those are actually the Panasonic masushita switches. I believe focus attack sells them and make stick as well. These Thailand switches are more sensitive compared to the gersungs. You could buy the extra gersungs and only use the top one and leave the rest. Apparently gives better balance which Iâm using right now. With the gersung on top it is actually for down since itâs inverted in-game.
Brass is more stiff, and bronze have self lubricating properties, each material have their own purpose.
Even without collar, crown shaft still hit the body to limit the throw distance (gate). So shaft cover is not possible on it.
Golden crown is not finished yet. I still havent make the mold for the new grommets
Just wondering with the Golden fanta grommets do you need to take out that circle thing in the middle of a normal fanta rubber and install it , like with the Crown60A rubber from focus attack
Iâm actually surprised your the first person to ask that. No one has actually given any instructions as far as I remember. I was talking to @agieze about something similar with the V2 HelpMe⌠It would make sense for someone to make a video tutorial HINT HINT.
@wazwuz, is there a date for when the official releases are or are we still testing new ideas?
I look forward to seeing some Golden Crown mods. I canât remember who mentioned it but it would be very helpful if there was marking on the grommets as to their stiffness. Maybe not as important for the other parts as you can differentiate sizes by sight but that would be useful too
I was just thinking about the kaze and the HelpMe V2. I donât know what switches they each use as of writing this but if you think about it the only real change is softer or harder LEFT and RIGHT switches. Each one has a SOFTER BOTTOM and HARDER TOP. To try out the differences you only need to buy a set of softer switches for left and right to see how the kaze approached this idea.
@Agieze mentioned to me that you really only pay for a few changed switches. Is it going to cost $40 dollars for different micro switches? In some circumstances you only need to change a single A3 to A2. I gues purple is worth the added cost for a new 309 HelpMe for anyone that already owns one.
How are the diagonals on the Crown 309MJ KMS ST25? I currently have a 307 KMS ST in my HRAP and while down diagonals are fine, up diagonals require a bit of precision. Hoping a 309 will be an upgrade in terms of evening things out
Guys, replacing the grommet canât be easier, itâs been explained many times, even webshops tell you how to remove the central plastic sleeve : you just need to stretch the grommet enough , the sleeve pops loose when pressing on it, a child can do it.
putting a new grommet is the other way around, stretch it then squeeze the spool shaped sleeve back in.
@ProgressiveBalance
Wawuzâ grommets follow a color code for shore hardness, unlike the grommets from Crown.
Been using a Helpme V2 lever and while the purple top is cool, the changes done to the switches and maybe the seemingly lighter silicone grommet probably ainât gonna convince people to switch over from a normal 309. With the limited availability, I donât think itâs necessarily a must buy. If you have a 309 and some Gersung switches (especially the set from Helpme V2), you might get similar results.
As for using the Taeyoung Fanta lever, I inserted my Fujin V2 top and shaft to it and damn it feels really good. I also added the light green Golden Fanta grommet and while itâs sort of loose, my backdash cancelling is a lot better and my hand isnât aching at all after prolonged use. Also when using the Golden Fanta 8mm shaft, it feels like using the 7mm shaft with a Myoungshin (basically Green Game Land lever action). I did some measurements and since the Taeyoungâs funnel is wider by a MM more, Myoungshin is 21mm, I can compensate with the 8mm shaft.
Wasnât able to get the Green lever this Evo unfortunately because of working at Arcade Shock and SPLITFRAME. I probably could have convinced Nin, not Knee because he was in top 8, with a lot of money if I went to Tekken Casino but I was too tired every day there. I did try Gen1usâ Green lever and I checked his model and his actuator is plastic like the old Magiclab Airbag levers. Might have been before the metal actuator. Also saw Cyroxâs Fujin V1 lever and it had the thinner shaft like the Green lever which was fascinating.
The âgolden fantaâ is parts made by @wazwuz to tweak/modify a myoungshin fanta to kind of have âyour own fantaâ to your liking. Comes with various grommets, shafts, actuators, and switch plate support.
An airbag fanta is a lever based on the Myoungshin fanta with mods differing from the stock version such as: slightly lighter grommet, different microswitches, switch plate support.
