Default futaba 3pm transmitter fasst 2.4ghz owners

I have some play/slop on the steering wheel on the transmitter. not on the car, but on the transmitter. Its really annoying that it is $200 and it has more play/slop than my AM radio i upgraded from. Is this normal? If not, i will try to exchange it. So to the owners, try it out and let me know if its normal.

i think they said it was normal for the antenna. I don't think they read about the transmitter.

Mine is tight, no play at all. maybe the screw is a little loose.

Are you reffering to the steering wheel being able to move a mm in and out?

just call them, i'm sure there is a simple fix you can do without returning or sending it in.
