(Upgrade Kit) - Thrustmaster T16000M - TWCS Throttle - Linear Bearing with Detent

I received my parts kit yesterday, 6 Jan 24, and this video does not explain with sufficient detail how to assemble the (new?) parts kit. I had to use screws from the TWCS to assemble the parts. I have parts that I could not install because there was no explanation. I was able to complete assembly and the TWCS works better, but I'm unhappy with this video. Are text with photos or drawings available that correspond to the new parts kit?

Can I buy only STL?

waiting on my throttle, does it already come with linear rods/shaft?

just use transparent tape on all surfaces- fixed for almost free...

just did this mod with my 3d printer. thanks!

Why we are using that 70%
Whats problem?
Sry, im dont have that device and cant understand how its important or not

fantastic work! what is the "spacer_5mm"?

Hey whats those magnets doing there?

Are the detent magnets optional? Because I fly multiple aircraft in DCS including helicopters and and it to be as flexible as possible.

for what is the "stop" at 30%?

This is sick! I am going to pick this HOTAS up and I am not going to wait for the internals to wear out to pick up this upgrade.

What's the difference between the Hybrid 2pl + 2 LM8LUU and the normal 2 LM8LUU if I use the stock friction bar?

Just printed this, installed it with 4 polymer bearings and the difference is night and day. Really fine throttle control is finally available. Thank you so much for making this available to us.

Why detect magnet are not in the exact middle?

Hola, I installed it according to the tutorial but unfortunately the screw that holds the bridge of the potentiometer rubs against the plastic of the base and the stripe, I have to tighten it very hard but even so if I press the base in the center it rubs against the slider with said screw. Was there an error in printing?

Can't buy this anymore?

I appreciate its a while ago but the link isnt finding this iterm which \i really would like. Have you any ideas as to who to contact about this item? Cheers

Where can I buy this as iv just bought one and noticed the problem straight away Website please.

Any chance you'll be making more soon?

The final test does not look so stable.

anyone got any idea where to source this upgrade for australia? the etsy link is no longer active and ive searched amazon and ebay and cant find this (so far) available anywhere atm :(

No longer making it? :/

this still avaliable???

Hi! Would you guys re available for this mod on the website? thanks!

Posted 3rd Nov and arrived 26th Nov, (Canada->UK).
Works so much better than stock item.
Great video to thanks.

I just installed bearings in my controller. In fact, the movement seems a bit smoother, but unlike the stock item, it is much louder, and when moving the throttle forward and backward, the bearings seem to run "dry". Have you also experienced such problems? I'm wondering if my bearings are just poor quality, or maybe some thick grease should be applied there.

This upgrade turned my TWCS from a disappointing waste of potential, to the best throttle for precision control there is.
I used the metal bearings in combination with a very generous amount of Nyogel 767A, and this gives me the stable fine control I need for hovering and landing helicopters.
Some people say they get problems with the Nyogel grease- if that's the case, it's probably due to not using enough.
I added the Nyogel until it would not take any more, now it moves smoothly and precisely through the whole range of motion, like the dampened motion of a microscope dial, only linear rather than rotational.

Absolutely amazing mod. Throttle no longer sticks and moves very smoothly. Polymer bearings were a perfect choice and are extremely quiet. Thank you!

Kind Sir :) I've received my order, which was very well packaged btw, watched your instruction vid and replaced the component in my Throttle ... Buttery smooth throttle and all i can do is convey my gratitude for your solution as the default component was a drag to play with. Again, Thank You!

Never used a throttle before, which detent option should I go for?

Which clearance size is recommended for 70% detents? Or is that size only dependent on the thickness of double sided tape?

Just installed this mod. Turns what would normally be a POS into a usable product. Stiction is completely gone, Went to split throttle with a 50% detent. I can increase/decrease the throttle in very small increments. Great upgrade.

I'm in desperate need of this mod! Any idea of when these will be available again?

Can I get a quick rundown on the diff types available?

omg i just got my throttle today and it's just as bad as everyone is describing. I thought people were exaggerating how sticky the slide is, but it really significant force to move it a small amount of force. Ordered my slide the other day, really looking forward to replacing it with your product :D

You're an absolute legend of a fabricator, got my cheap little setup feeling so much better for my travels through space.

Just waiting for mine to arrive. Chose the longer cylinder style. Holding off on using my TWCS until I make the upgrade.

OMG... thanks for the bit about backing off on the central screw... I just re-greased my TWCS and opened her up again after watching this vid to check that screw. Sure enough, I had it tightened too much and when I loosened it up a bit, the throttle action got even smoother. Basically ... when you tighten the screw and the washer starts to rotate with the screw, you've gone too far.

Just got it! And it works perfect!

I bought this months ago, but I only just now finally had time to sit down and do the surgery. Love it!

Solid Product. I have yet to break it in fully, but just after install... Night and day. The amount of force needed to adjust is consistent. I got a 50, 20, and 80 detent as I use this across multiple games. Please note that he labels the detents. I did not look closely and slapped the 20 where i wanted the 50. To that end, i think the curve of the plastic is adjusted on each detent. By that I mean my 20 practically slaps in place, my 50 has more play, and my 80 has even more play (keep in mind my 20 is actually labeled a 50).

As such, i consider this a very well thought out project and look forward to its use.

I love this mod, but the cable that goes into the throttle tugs slightly when the throttle is all the way forward, and pulls the throttle back a bit when you take your hand off of it, is there any way to fix that?

As far as I'm concerned, this is THE premier mod for the TWCS Throttle.

I just did this mod från ADU Labs, and the mod itself was pretty straight forward, But I've noticed that it's really resisting when going towards the 0% and 100%, to the point that it wants to move the whole throttle body. In the middle, around 35-65% range it's very smooth. Did I do something wrong, or did I miss something in reassembly? All buttons and values seems normal when checking calibration otherwise.
I did buy the mod directly from ADU Labs, with the LM8LUU bearings.

awesome work

Thinking of buying this mod but I'm curious about the snap range of the detent magnets. For example if I had a 90% detent, would I still be able to put my throttle up to 100% or would it be too close to the detent and snap back to 90?

If anybody could share their experience I'd appreciate the advice :]

Edit: Now that I think about it, I guess that's where the brake comes into play. Would still love to hear from somebody with experience :]

Just ordered one!

Nice job man!
