Anyone know if this shaft uses Fanta specification (fit in myoungshin/taeyoung) or Crown (309)?
I really want a green shaft for my fanta.
YOOO, is there like a method to remove grommet? This seems like the toughest task in modding.
You sort of need to stretch one end of it from the middle and pull it out. Itās a bit tough but thatās how you do it.
The shaft will likely fit a 309 just fine but not a Myoungshin or a Taeyoung as the shaftās insert side is bigger. Might as well get this and put the shaft in the 309.
I just got update. LowHigh already received his GFM and installing it on his stick (he go for green lever setup and silicone 35 first) he said GFM is perfect for myungshin and he is very he will use it for tournamnet next weeked

Managed to do it, apparently, you need to apply pressure on the spool and bend the rubber. But mainly pressure on the spool.
@wazwuz Btw, i managed to install the green fanta mod on my myoungshin and its making really weird noises. Im using the 35a silicone with the green mod shaft and actuator ,switch support and gersungs a2.
Try to lubricate the shaft (lower parts) using silicone grease.
@wazwuz The sound doesnāt sound something that a silicone would make. Iāll upload it tomorrow. Im gonna go head to bed.
Quick Question: I frequently have problems hitting diagonal directions on my 309HelpMe so I switched back to my Fanta which I have no problems hitting inputs with. Soon I will be getting a 309mj to put into my TES+ and I was wondering if I might come across the same problem. I like the lighter feeling of the HelpMe but the precision of the Fanta. What exactly can I take off of my Fanta/HelpMe to give me the best product on my MJ when it comes in? Is it the switches that are the problem or the actuator?
@LBG depends on the switches you have on the helpme. Iām assuming it either has A2s or Am5s but depending when you bought it Then it should be am5s. If you have A2s on them then switching to A3s will fix this issue since a3s increase the range of diagonals. A2s donāt work well with the stock 309 actuator which is why the 309 and mj all come willth a3s meow. If you have am5s then I donāt know what to say other than trying a smaller actuator. From my experience 14.5- 15mm actuator use a2s/ am5s but anything between 15.5 and up use A3s.
@zero_requiem on my HelpMe I have AM5ās and on the Fanta I have Gersung GSM-V1623A2ās. The actuator on the Fanta LOOKS bigger but I canāt really tellā¦ I also hear the HelpMe actuator is good but I know Gersung switches are dope. The problem with my diagonal inputs is from the switches? Iām sort of confused as to why this happens. Mechanically I understand but the best remedy would be to replace the switches or the actuator? Sorry if I sound retarded asking these questions lol
Yeah Fujin v2 is one of the best levers ive used so far aswell , after using one to master what ever i can in the game , i can say its really a great lever the issues with it is it fatiques you pretty fast , recently i bought 2 more fujin levers for some mod purposes with all the available Fujin actuators the creator had available . After alot alot of testing i ended up realising i cant find the sweet spot so i installed both levers on my both arcadesticks , one is a stock fujin stiff AF and its gonna be my tournament stick for short sets one of my favorite levers so stable .
And the other one am gonna keep it for home and long sets , i moded it with a 35A white silicone grommet from golden fanta mod kit and 14,7mm actuator , an issue with that mod is that it wubbles a tiny bit , and the biggest issue wich why am writing all these so maybe few gnostics give some insight @zero_requiem is that the shaft is turning around (twirls? spins inside the bushing) ā¦ so on tight spots when you wanna do a fast backdash ewgf or sidestep ewgf sometimes it spins and your hand gets off the lever or feels uncomfy makes the follow up or backdash a stress experience dunno if you feel me , if i fix that somehow it would be almost the perfect lever for long sets for me , i do not want it like the kaze v3 that its super hard to spin the shaft around i would like it as the stock brand new fujin that its possible. i dont know why that happend since both levers are brand new i just swaped the grommet not the bushing , bushing is original fujin.
I would love to test the 7mm shaft but sadly the green setup from wazwuz doesnt fit the actuator of fujins afaik.i have ordered from the fujin creator some 7mm shafts but he hasnt respond yet .
Another perfect mod for me would be instead of the silicone grommet that i use from the golden fanta , if i could actually find the same tension of an actual Rubber like the Fanta one.Any info any advise would be much appriciated sorry for the long text .Also diffrent mods that you guys suggest would be nice . One i am trying to test now and i think @zero_requiem would like is , i installed on top of the original plate of the fujin a kowal plate and then installed it on my arcade panel so the lever is shorter gave me abit of speed on wd and kbc . Peace
Anyone able to tell me why, for certain grommets, it feels like thereās something being grinded/rubbed on inside when I tilt the shaft to max throw distance? Like, more than just the tension of the grommet itself, it seems like something is interfering with the throw.
Funny thing , on Jasenās website, the man claims the 309MJ is a Crown lever customized by Makestick, he even claims it is also called a āMakestick 309MJā .What a joke, and no one told him yetā¦
Makestick had no part in the 309MJ chopped collar design, as for the other characteristics that come almost all from standard 309Helpme, they came partially from ā¦Helpme(a korean modder), not Makestick (aka IST, who only makes Fanta derived sticks) !
309MJ (as well as 303MJ and 307MJ) is not a custom product, it is a standard offering from Samducksa/Crown and is present in their catalog still today in the recently renamed āMā series http://samducksa.com/new/product/index_view.php?UidNum=373
Jasen claims also the 309MJ is a
A grommet is a collar now? Wow!
The article is really misleading. To make matters worse the 309 āsanwaā version as Crown and some retailers call it is in fact the collarless 309Helpme, not the chopped collar 309MJ, even though the MJ does fit in many stick cases that are JLF compatible, itās just not itās comemrcial designation
Notice said 309Helpme COLLARLESS has disappeared from the official Samducksa website catalog sheets.
A lever that could be called āMakestickā eventually is the IST FLF.
@Abev That grinding feeling is probably either the bushing being tilted too far and hitting against the casing or just the actuator hitting against the hole in the bottom of the stick.
@wazwuz
Alright, heres the update on the Green Fanta Lever Mod. I have not tried the others.
Parts Used:
ASI 35 A Silicone Grommet
ASI Green Fanta Lever Mod. (Latest Batch)
ASI Switch Support
Gersung Switch A2
Myoungshin Fanta
(Videos are unlisted)
You might need to increase your volume to hear the sound produced.
This is the sound produced when it hits the collar.

How it should sound.

Another weird sound. Moving around the neutral zone.
https://youtu.be/SF9BWAKfhtI
It seems like forward, down and up seem to be having the Collar sound problem. I have tried reinstalling with 1 switch support instead of 2 and the problem still continues to persist. Back seems to be fine for some reason.
it is hard to find about sound without direct examination. try to remove all the switch and see if it still making that sound, then remove one by one part to see what parts that cause the sound.
@wazwuz I sort of had this problem too and I moved some switches around to get the results I needed. This might refer to the claim by Saint that the switches might have some quirks. I still need to get my package soon but the old setup thatās currently installed has the 14.75mm actuator so that might have helped. I will let you know ASAP when I get my hands on the new stuff.
He technically should be able to use the shaft and actuator on a Fujin lever if that has to be a last resort. The actuator shouldnāt obstruct the Fujinās plate.
Maybe he just needs to get used to it because he has been using the Fujin for some time with the Green lever on occassion.
So do the golden fanta parts work fine with the fujinv2? I know earlier posts were talking about the golden actuators hitting the metal plate. Also what about the kazev3?
