Reply to "TMCC Cab1 red knob spins freely - won't hold its speed setting"

I opened my Cab-1 last night.  I inserted a short segment of Q-tip shaft in the hollow post molded into the back half of the Cab-1 shell that sits atop the end of the shaft of the red knob when reassembled.  I then clipped the Q-tip shaft just a hair longer than flush with the end of that hollow post using end-nippers and reassembled the Cab-1halves.  The clipped end of the Q-tip contacts and applies gentle pressure to the end of the red knob metal shaft.  My red knob now turns with a comfortable degree of resistance and the remote actually works more responsively than before - only a partial turn generates a change in engine throttle and speed.  No more untimely or unwanted free spinning or lots of movement of the knob to change speed.  Bob, thanks again for the masking tape tip.  I see how that would achieve the same result (create drag on the end of the red knob's shaft), but thought I'd try this Q-tip stub approach and see how it works.  I'll let you know how it holds up.
