VKB STECS MAX
Overview
The VKB STECS MAX combo consists of the following elements:
STECS ATEM - small button box mounted to the rear of the throttle
STECS Mini - throttle module itself
STECS Plus base plate
VKB Multi Function Holder
STECS STEM - larger button box mounted in front, via the MFH
Although it can be mounted as-is on the TM Warthog throttle plate, there is a limitation to keep in mind:
It is longer than this plate.
With a Chair/MTS HOTAS setup, this isn’t really an issue in most cases.
The excess length just hangs over the front.
On a Table/Rail/Sim Stand setup, you either need a longer horizontal profile, or use an offset like the https://docs.monster.tech/s/manuals/doc/throttle-add-on-dnJrm21duQ.
Note that offset mounting is restricted by the table itself, and whatever may be underneath.
Alternatively, you can mount the STEM separately via the https://docs.monster.tech/s/manuals/doc/vkb-panel-holder-fLUKl9kZXf.
This may be preferred regardless, as the throttle can stay closer to the table/mount.
The throttle itself is basically a STECS Plus at this point, and can also be mounted via the Mini/Plus plate.
