I just fixed my brother's transmitter. If the little end loop has snapped off the spring, just bend out one of the spring loops so that you can hook it back on. Works just fine. No need to go hunting for a replacement spring.

When I replaced the spring, I turned the steering tension screw back in as well, so that the spring rate is not so high. Possibly less chance of breakage too.

Hope that helps!

I broke one of these in a DX3.0 a few years ago and I just pulled the last coil out of the spring and bent it into a hook and reinstalled it...never broke again.

Thanks for the replies, did what you said and seems to be working fine
