loscsaba86 Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 Hello Members, I have a throttle next to my joystick too (T 16000 M + TWCS Throttle). Often it needs more power to move the throttle lever, it moves not so nice smoothly. Can I add some oil or something like that? I want to move the throttle back and fort smoothly, in order to adjust the speed of the aircraft more precisely. Best regards, Csaba

Best regards, CsabaA squirt of WD40 and less tension on the friction made wonders for me. But I did have it mounted to a stand, and not loose on a desk. Not sure about your setup. There are after market addons to get too. Search on Thingyvers IIRC. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 1

SPR51 Posted April 21, 2024 Posted April 21, 2024 This is my only complaint about the 1600 throttle. Mine is mounted solidly but is jumpy. Going to try some silicon grease and adjustments per mfg. if that doesn’t work I’m going to look for another set up. 1

It can be too sticky or too loose. 1 9800x3d - rtx5080 FE - 64Gb RAM 6000MHz - 2Tb NVME - Quest Pro (previous rift s and Pico 4).

No1sonuk Posted April 24, 2024 Posted April 24, 2024 There's a linear bearing upgrade you could try if you have access to a 3D printer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4748193
SPR51 Posted April 27, 2024 Posted April 27, 2024 I saw that upgrade on YouTube. I decided to put a new set up together and upgrade to a new throttle in the near future. Messing with the jets now and want more capabilities thanks for the info!
No1sonuk Posted April 27, 2024 Posted April 27, 2024 My T16000 set had a stick twist failure while it was still in warranty. TM didn't offer repair, just return/refund, so I reversed the mod and returned the set. I went to Warthog HOTAS. Though I still miss the T16000 for Elite Dangerous.
