In this review, we’ll be taking a closer look at Radiomaster’s new Sticky360 stick ends designed for radios gimbals with M3 and M4 threads. These are probably one of the cheapest worth having upgrade to your radio. They are great for both thumbers and pinchers.
Where to Buy?
Almost all radio gimbal sticks have either M3 or M4 threads, so make sure to check before making the purchase.
For example, the Radiomaster TX16S has M4 threads while the Zorro has M3 threads.

There are 7 colors available: Red, Black, Silver, Gold, Purple, Blue and Green. When you get the AG01 Mini gimbals, they already comes with silver sticky360 stick ends.
What’s Special about Sticky360 Stick Ends?
The original stick ends on the Zorro and TX16S radio have a vertical grip design with a little crown on top, while the Sticky360 stick ends have a spiky design all around, offering a lot more grip. After fitting the new stick ends, it’s clear that the Sticky360 design provides a more substantial and grippy feel, improving the overall experience for pilots.
The Sticky360 provides a much more solid grip than the stock stick ends on both Zorro and TX16S. The spikes on top aren’t as sharp as the ones that come with the AG01 gimbals – they are so sharp sometimes could leave marks on your thumb after a long day of flying.
The Sticky360 stick end is basically a cylinder, it’s got medium size spikes on top for your thumb and small size spikes on the sides for your index finger. As a hybrid pinchers myself, I absolutely love them. I think they are suitable for both thumbers and pinchers too. The shape of the Sticky360 stick ends reminds me of the Five33 Rip Sticks (MCK), which has been popular among FPV pilots.
Installing the Sticky360 stick ends is a simple process of twisting and turning the original stick ends to remove them and replacing them with the new ones. The improved grip from the Sticky360 stick ends enhances control, making it easier for pilots to maintain their desired stick position during flight.

There’s no other way to tell other than giving it a try. Time yourself on your favourite track in an FPV simulator and see if you can beat your best time within a few tries, and you will know if they work for you.
