It seems my JR Xp6102 actually came with a smooth ratchet as well as the bumpy one. But my ratchet has worn down all the middle bumps (i had it pretty stiff) and now it has lumps at the top and bottom end of the stick. If i put on the smooth ratchet its nice in the middle, but at the bottom it has a big bump. It hits at about 10% stick and jumps a bigger step than it did with the ratchet. Also with the supplied smooth ratchet i couldn't adjust the tension at all, which was rather loose for my taste. The bar was bent so that adjustment seemed impossible anyway, if the screw itself hadn't been bottoming out (before doing anything). Gah so confusing. I wonder if i could flip the stick holder things over... left to right, since the stick on the right has a ratchet that isn't worn down yet. I'd just have to unplug the sticks... take then out, flip them, put them back, and plug them the right way. Maybe i'll try the fuel tubing first, see if i still have the bump =P.

As a word of caution. When the instructions say to remove the battery when adjusting stick tension, do listen. I was being lazy and didn't remove it... being so used to waterproof circuits (in paintball). I dropped a screw and shorted something, blowing the fuse. In paintball it wouldn't have shorted unless i really dug into the circuit because of the waterproofing. Now i need to get a new fuse and hope that was the only damage i caused. Question: What fuse is it? On the JR site they sell 3A replacement fuses. I know the size is 5mm x 20mm. Ideally the company should know their product... but the fuse itself has a .3A rating, or 300mA, written on the cap; not 3A. I personally would assume the web designer is clueless and wrote the wrong thing, but if anyone has experience, please do tell. If it means anything to anybody, this is what I read on the fuse: S IE.3A/250V
