Tankstick MAX joystick top swaps

Useful Answer

On the Tankstick MAX, the joystick shaft is not removable as a simple top-only swap.

To change from the stock bat-top style to a ball-top style, replace the entire joystick assembly with a compatible ball-top joystick assembly. Do not plan on changing only the handle or shaft.

This is a hardware swap, so verify the replacement joystick's mounting pattern, switch wiring, and connector style before ordering parts.
