For sale: My "old" HOTAS - VKB Evo KG12, TM TWCS, TM Flying Clamp

[1Sascha]

Since I recently upgraded my stick, throttle and mounts, I have this stuff lying around here and I'd like to get some money back for my next upgrade.

 

Before I try ebay, I thought I'd ask around here in a place that's crawling with folks who might need a good entry-level setup.

 

1. VKB Gladiator NXT Evo, KG-12 ("WW2") grip.

 

 

 

^ Comes with all accessories that were included with the stick originally (spring removal tool, three sets of springs, tools, etc.). There are two strips of velcro underneath the base-plate I applied from the time before I used mounts - those should come off very easily with a bit of isopropyl alcohol.

 

2. Thrustmaster TWCS throttle

^ De-greased and re-greased with Nyogel 776A for a better feel and less stickiness of the throttle slider.

 

3. Thrustmaster Flying Clamp

^ Mounting holes will fit the throttle perfectly - for the stick there are three holes that fit the Evo's baseplate, although I never needed more than two screws for a rock solid connection between the VKB and the mount. Slight caveat: The mount is a bit too wide for a center-stick position, but works perfectly for a side-stick or side-throttle application. It's a very sturdy little mount and it did manage to hold my piece-of-lead Warthog throttle without any problems.

 

Bought all of this stuff around March/April 2022, then used it for roughly four to five months, so it's all in very good condition (I do like to take care of my peripherals).

I still have the VKB's and throttle's original packaging and that's how I would send them out. The clamp I would disassemble, wrap the parts in bubble foil and add to the package - it's all steel plates and screws anyway, so there's not much risk of it taking any damage in transit.

 

 

The stuff is located in Germany and while I would prefer shipping within my own country to keep cost down, I would consider shipping to any other EU-/Schengen country. Outside of that wouldn't make much sense IMO, given the relatively low value of the shipment and how much it would cost to send it overseas.

 

Current prices when new in my country:

Stick: ~ €145 incl shipping and VKB's 5% discount

Throttle: ~€70 incl shipping

Clamp: ~65 incl shipping

Total: €280

 

I'd be willing to let it all go for €160 incl shipping to Germany.

 

For other EU-countries, I would have to add a bit to cover additional shipping cost, say, €170 - I'd only accept PayPal FF and I would very much prefer to sell all three items as a package.

Like I said: Shipping to the US would at least be €20 / $20 ... possibly more like €50 but I haven't checked weights and package dimensions since I don't plan on shipping outside of the EU.
