I need a throttle

[IMmrWAFFLES]

I have a flight stick that I use in battlefield and I was wondering if it is possible to buy a throttle. I want a HOTAS setup in Star Citizen but don't want to buy another stick as well. If you know of any throttles for >100 I would be very happy. My own searching has reaped little.

Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant

 

If you want, you can pull those knobs off and 3D-print or mill new ones.

This is a hard one. As you have noticed, there are very few standalone combat throttles on the market. Some Saitek throttles can be used as standalone controllers, so if you find someone selling just the throttle form a X45/52 HOTAS on ebay, it will be within your desired price range. Otherwise, the easiest is to get the CH throttle but it is pretty expensive.

 

If you are in Europe, or know someone here, you can try to get a hold of the Russian VKB throttle from their European store: https://flightsimcontrols.com/store/available/gametrix-ecs-throttle/. It is pretty decent but almost impossible to buy outside of Russia, unless you find a used one or are buying from this store in the link. And that works only for Europe, I think. Also their quantities are limited. When they run out of stock it's usually at least 4-5 months until they get new ones.

The thrustmaster warthog throttle is also available separately but it's totally out of your intended budget ;/

Is it? I didn't know that. IIRC, only the Warthog stick can be used separately from the HOTAS set, and the throttle plugs into the stick. It's been a while since I tried them so I may be mistaken. But I'm not seeing the throttle sold separately anywhere, just the stick.

Here's a polish store that has it.

Hmmm... interesting. I've never seen it sold separately before. Maybe it does work as standalone... 

 

But WOW, that's expensive!

It's been sold separately for about 5 or 6 months now.

 

It is sold on amazon and newegg every so often; but as always with the peripheral market, they always have low stock.

Honestly, the best for the price would be a CH throttle. You can probably find that for around 120usd currently on amazon or some other places. http://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Pro-Throttle-USB/dp/B00006B84Z/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445193796&sr=8-1&keywords=ch+throttle

 

If you are in Europe, or have a hard cap of less than 100, you will most likely have to go for a cheap throttle from logitech.
