Gaz! Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yep, I replaced mine.... Have you removed the screws from behind the stickers? As I recall there are loads in total..... Then it just pulls gently apart, the spring bit is a little fiddly so some long nose pliers are a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I did wonder if there are any behind the stickers, which stickers did you have to remove? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 One on the base and one near the top if memory serves.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmini Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) You also need to remove the sticker over the screen And you need to remove the 2 screws that hold the battery tray in Edited September 15, 2015 by Madmini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 there are 11 screws to remove. 2 are under the sticker that says spektrum. 1 is under the front rubber grip. 1 is under the stick with DX4S written on it. another is under the sticker with the spektrum logo. 4 are easy to find as you can see them without moving anything. there are also 2 screws holding the AA battery tray in place. you will need to remove the battery tray asway as the 3 stickers on the back of the tx and the sticker over the screen to get the 2 halves apart. i took mine apart to paint the case red, and another one i painted purple and i've painted 2 others for people, it fairly easy once you know how. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant thanks for the info, yet another reason why I love using this forum. When I've finished breaking mine I'll let you know how I got on LOL Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 What's the fault? Is it the dx4s only or 4c too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markswebpages Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) What's the fault? Is it the dx4s only or 4c too?It's a DX4S that I got when I brought the axial yeti. It's like new to be honest (still had the clear covers on the screen and stickers when I got it) and I'm a bit disappointed that it's broken as I've treated it very carefully. The throttle doesn't centre anymore, I'm still undecided as I'm not convinced it's the spring if I'm truthful. Nothing came out or is rattling around that I can tell. We'll see I'm a bit too knackered and short tempered to try it this evening I think. Edited September 15, 2015 by Markswebpages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 could just be the spring has streched alittle and is just not pulling the trigger enough anymore. doesn't have to be broken or missing to be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markswebpages Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yeah I suppose you could be right If I take it apart myself I'll try photographing it so at least if anyone else wants to know this might pop up on a search.

Markswebpages Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Sooooo, After some encouraging responses on here I thought I'd go for it. So removed the stickers Then unscrewed everything, remembering the battery tray and it literally just came apart. Watch out for the wires in the base the go between two parts it will lie flat though. What I discovered was a bit of a surprise, I thought it was odd that I could see the spring and it didn't look lose. The nut that holds the variable resistor onto the bracket was so lose it had fallen off. Nut and washer back on (with a small amount of threadlock. Obligatory helping cat, for moral support. So thanks everyone for your help, all back together and working again [emoji2] Edited September 16, 2015 by Markswebpages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
