My Big Red has one of the sticks that feels "sticky". (best way I can think to describe it) I took it apart and cleaned it up. It did make a improvement, but it's still not a nice feeling as the player 2 stick. Perhaps bushings need replacement? How do you usually fix your sticks?

yeah, for the cost of a stick you might as well save yourself the heartache and buy an iL eurostick from lizardlick, or elsewhere.

What did you use to clean the stick? I had sticky buttons once and used some rubbing alcohol and that did the job. Don't pour it on the components. Just a little dab of it on a piece of cloth and some cleaning should do the trick. I wouldn't sweat it. Replacing them would be the best bet. What kind of sticks are they? I might have what you need.

Not sure what type they are. As far as I know, they are the ones that came with the Big Red originally. I'll get a couple of pics and post.

Most likely they are happ competitions. If thats the case, I have a pair of brand new ones in black. I could hook you up with a set for free and all you have to do is pay for shipping. I'm in a good mood today and feel like helping someone out. Pm me if your interested.

Well that is greatly appreciated. Do you need some Neo decals? I think it would be the least I could do.

Just looked on the interweeb, and the handles do look like the happ's, but the under part is different. Those are round, mine are square, but I'm sure Happ's will work better than what's in there regardless. Mine I guess could just be older happs also. Who knows. :lolz:

No thanks bud, don't even sweat it. I'll post some pics of the stick on here when I get home so you could take a look at them. I was trying to sell them on here last year, but no one wanted them, so I might as well just hook you up. Just pm me your addy so I could get you a shipping quote.
