Is it the full collar version or the short collar? Not sure if your TE2 is modded or not. I had a 307 and it sucked for me. It was this stick: Crown CWL-307FJ-JMS-ST Joystick Clear Red . I didn’t like that stick and it soured my opinion on Korean Crown sticks. But the collared 309 HelpMe is really awesome. I hope to get the chance to try out the short collared version, but I think that collar must add some stability or something to the stick that makes it perform better than the shorter version. Also I know the grommet in the long collar is 35 while the short is only 25 shore rating. Maybe consider modding your TE2 to fit the 35mm version. I posted a link in a post above and it’s pretty easy to do. Or you could wait until Jasen Hicks of jasenscustoms.com gets back from deployment in the fall and order a TE2 Korean panel for the TE2. But yeah disassemble and clean it and I wish you the best of luck my friend. Take it easy!1
I’m so sorry about the delay. my workshop is overload with orders, So I have to find time to make the golden parts. But the grommets is almost finished. While waiting for it, I have doing some testing to find the best parts to include for the next batch.
So I have contact focus attack that the gromets is almost ready, and we can ship it to make it available to US market, but I haven’t got any orders from them now.
Then if there are still many from you interested in Golden Fanta. I will run the second batch.
MOQ for each batch is 20 set. So I want to know, how many of you still want the Golden Fanta?
I do, definitely.
I, really want to try out the Golden Fanta mod & the assorted grommets!
@wazwuz any changes to the second batch. so far i’m enjoying the current setup i have (10mm shaft, 15.5mm actuator, sky blue grommet, cherry d44y levered switches)
Ok I figured it out it was a combination of me not being used to both movement in T7 and adjusting to the new 309. Thanks for the advice everyone
@wazwuz, how much is the second batch going to cost, and what are the changes from the first to second batch? Will it include the shaft cover and plexiglass for the micro switches?
Also, with the rise in popularity of the 309 HelpMe and the new infiltration lever, do you think you would ever make a Golden HelpMe or a Golden Infiltration Lever? I think that would be a great way to follow on if this is successful.
@wazwuz Yeah I’m still interested, was wondering if we can also purchase your silicone grommets right now?
Yes I have Dark Blue (55) 50pcs and Red (60) 50pcs in stock, but the shipping to US is 18USD/250gram.
From what I have test and from beta tester feedback, next batch I will include:
Actuators : 15.5mm ; 16mm ; and 16.5mm
Shaft : 8mm ; 9mm ; 10mm
Sil Grmt : Green 40, Blue 50, and Red 60
Acrylic switch support (upon request only), you don’t need this if using Airbag.
Yes I was planing to get 309 Crown and Infiltration Crown, and learn how I can enhance the experience of that stick.
This is going to be a noob question, but will these silicone grommets fit inside a myoungshin fanta stick? And where can I purchase these grommets? I would love 2 red grommets, and perhaps one blue
Yeah, that 's why it’s called the Golden “Fanta” mod. We’re waiting to here from @wazwuz when/where we can all get it from.
Received my sdb201 buttons today.
Got to say I’m really like them better than seimitsus I usually use. I finished Tekken 7’s story mode with them.
Things to note. Screws are interchangeable between Seimitsu and these. The sdb201 screws have teeth for grip on mounting surface so if screws were available separately could be slight upgrade on Seimitsu screwin buttons.
So I guess now I have an almost full Korean stick?
Makestick case,309helpme,sdb201 buttons and 3 24mm seimitsu buttons.
I’m definitely interested to get 1 too… I’m reside in Malaysia, so shipping shouldn’t be that bad i guess?
I do not know if I said anything on this thread before or not but which Korean joystick is best to start with? I wanted to try one for years now and never got around to it and have a spare stick to experiment with. I would like a Fanta but do not think it will fit the model without serious modifications I do not fully understand how to implement. That said I will take any of them based on the best recommendations I can get as someone newer to modding and changing stuff.
The Crown 309mj can be installed in most enclosures without modification .
Is the Helpme Lever the same
Can’t go wrong with a Helpme lever it’s good for beginners, I do feel like it doesn’t have much potential for you to grow in the long run. The stick I like the most is Myoungshin Fanta but I would say it’s for intermediate users since you need a lot of precision to use it, in my opinion this one has the highest potential once you master using it. The Kaze Lever would be my 2nd pick if you can even find one. The Airbag would be my third pick it’s almost the same as the Kaze lever but isn’t as stiff.
I actually wanted to be a part of the first batch of Golden Fanta kits, but missed out. Would like to get in on the next batch. Did the Fanta kits come with the acrylic switch plate or was that a limited test?
