Hey thanks Keith, but it's not the roller itself but the dash pot in the selector....I am having to mash it harder and harder to get it to work....I saw a mod where a guy just replaced a push button with it, uses that to select and the roller to search....
Does anyone sell that assymbly you know of???

Thanks Keith, but looks like thats the only one in the whole world! LOL i wonder if I contacted Spektrum if they would sell me one? I really don't want to buy another radio right now, am trying to wait to get a 9, or the new DX6.
Thanks for taking the time in helping search for one!

Horizon will not sell you one. They will tell you that you need to send it into them and they will replace it. For a fee of course.

Ok I found where to get em and how to install them! Easy fix too!
I ordered a new roller to from these guys as suggested.....http://www.eastrc.org/shop.cgi/page=index2.html/SID=1427580162.24144

The button is here: https://www.pololu.com/ item number 1400 takes you right to it...comes in a 5 pack!

Unlike what that guy said in the video, do NOT push on the bottom of the roller, even with the metal roller. You can damage that pot if you do so. Only push at the top.

Oh yeah for sure I learned that early on with those rollers, good tip though! I think a few people have broken that thing a time or two LOL
