      Had a look down the Website, and got a couple of concerns.

      Please correct me if I'm wrong

      1. It only works with Spectrum RX
      2. You need to buy another RX
      3. It doesn't actually work on your big tv unless your PC is connected to it (the website seems to suggest it does)
      4. Has not been tested with the new Phoenix 3 yet
      5. Do you still need to plug in the phoenix cable anyway - otherwise phoenix doesn't run (Not mentioned on the website as far as I can see)

      Seems like a really expensive way of getting rid of a cable that just plugs in when you want it anyway. I can get a USB extension cable for a few pounds.


      The website needs updating - just found the FAQ that mentions Phoenix 3 and the fact that you need to plug in the Sim dongle as well.


      Sorry fellas - nice Idea but needs more work

      Unless I've missed the point but If I have then you can be sure many more people will.

        1. It only works with Spectrum RX
        35mhz version and Futaba being worked on right now.

        2. You need to buy another RX
        ....Or you could use a spare 6 channel that you have right now... Many of us have spare RXs that we intended for that park flyer that never materialises.

        3. It doesn't actually work on your big tv unless your PC is connected to it (the website seems to suggest it does)
        Can't quite see what your point is here. Perhaps have a look at the section that says "what is simstick" It is all explained very clearly what it is.

        4. Has not been tested with the new Phoenix 3 yet
        Yes it has, but there is no difference between 2.5 and 3 anyway as the dongle is the same - however website is now updated

        5. Do you still need to plug in the phoenix cable anyway - otherwise phoenix doesn't run (Not mentioned on the website as far as I can see)
        No-one can get rid of the lead. it's part of the copy protection. That's just he way it is... sorry.

        It's not for everyone, but there were a lot of people who came to 3D champs, came to champs, loved the idea and bought one.

        Anyway you don't have to BUY one, you can WIN one - then sell it if you don't want it

          I really don't know what your saying here, "More Work".

          I have a SimStick, Follow the instructions and it just works straight out of the packet.

            Mines great, the dog no longer rips the tx out of my hands when I'm simming and the best part without any doubt for me is no more wear on the trainer port of my DSX9

            How unusual, Sim stick does just was it says on the packet. RESULT!

            I'm well chuffed.

                  Facebook its not all that bad, I store all my pictures on it and its free and you don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to apart from selected friends.

                  Looking forward to getting the sim stick, cool idea!

                    1. It only works with Spectrum RX.....yes
                    2. You need to buy another RX......try hobby city...$15
                    3. It doesn't actually work on your big tv unless your PC is connected to it (the website seems to suggest it does)....works fine on my tv.
                    4. Has not been tested with the new Phoenix 3 yet...works fine on V3
                    5. Do you still need to plug in the phoenix cable anyway - otherwise phoenix doesn't run (Not mentioned on the website as far as I can see)....Yes,but it can be tucked away out of sight


                    Please beware that Simstick is new and im sure the team are/will be working on other manufacturers radio.

                    I love mine to bits,i used to tug the wire now and then and it was damaging my usb ports....not no more

                          I already have a SimStick but in the case I won another I would return it for another user to try and win

                            lol Martin

                            I made my first comment on FB for god knows how long on this thing so I better win (if not I think I will buy one )


                            I get fed up of peoples status's telling me exactly what they are doing or have done that day. Makes me laugh so I do tend to actually look every now and then for a giggle.

                            My Mrs is just as bad "Been to the gym now to tired" "just put the kids to bed" lol, what makes it funnier is that will then get 15 more comments on LMAO.
