Title: Playstation 3 Real Arcade Pro. 3 Fighting Stick
Post by: karizzma on July 15, 2009, 12:33:49 AM
Has anyone had any experience with the stick? Thinking of picking one up for a mate of mine who doesn't want to fork out for TE.

The HRAP3 (as it is also known) is a great stick (I have one)
its the next best thing to a Madcatz TE and if you upgrade the buttons to Sanwa (easy snap on connectors) you basically have the same stick as a TE (all Sanwa parts).

Doesn't exist bro. The cheapest route is buying a mayflash and then modding it with parts. Should work out to under $200 if you have all the tools you need.

Theres a post in one of the other threads saying that you can get standard edition Fight Sticks from the USA Capcom store for just over $150 NZ delivered. Sure, it's not Sanwa... but another 100 on top of that later down the track and it could be. That's probably about as cheap and as good quality as you're going to find, I'd say.

I'm selling one atm with fully modded Sanwa parts for $200 if you are interested.
It works on PC 100% as I have tested it.
But will be testing it on Ps3 and xbox later on today.

I think I might as well mod a mayflash, I would never buy a stick somebody else built or modded, I like working on things to much :P

This stick is awesome. The stick is sanwa stock, the buttons are hori but they are pretty damn good. I ordered one of these from firstgames. I also modded it with sanwa parts. BUY ONE OF THESE. Next best thing to a TE stick pretty much. Forget the crappy mayflash lol. Waste of time, the case is tiny and crap.
