Materials:
3d printed spacer (search Thingiverse)
Philips screws M2.3 x 12mm
Micro JST 1.25 connector 5 pins
Button self-locking switch 12mm


I did some modifications to my RadioMaster TX16s Mark 2 v4, 3d printed some spacers for the gimbal sticks to lower it down, added a button switch for secondary arming and added pads to the roller button.

unfortunately at the time i was doing the mode, i ran out of micro JST 1.25 5 pins, fyi, if you plan to use the LED mode, this is also the socket you will connect the LED wires.

next, lift the cap pot and unscrew the module, this will give you access to the inner screw of the Gimbal stick

put everything back and use the M2.3 x 12mm screws, do the same process to the other Gimbal stick.

next, for the roller button, disconnect Micro JST 1.25 connector, remove the screws, lift gently because the roller might fall-off, put double sided tape and foam.
