Warthog Throttle spiking Z Rotation - Replace Potentiometer?

Featured Replies

Dear All,

I recently replaced the motherboard on my 10 yr+ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle after it 'bricked' and all seemed ok expect I then saw spiking on the left throttle (Z Rotation stays full on during throttle travel then jumps to 0% near the end).

Having rechecked the cables I'm assuming it's not related and there is an issue with the potetentiometer (although the various sites I've been to are slightly confusing as to what type of potentiometer this is) - I've witten to TM again to see if they supply spares but so far haven't had a reply (to be fair it's only been a few days since I wrote to them again and the previous service from their side was good).

My question is - has anyone experienced this and repaired it themselves (I didn't see anything on Youtube or Forums)?  If so, how did you do it & where did you get the replacement part?  I'm by no means an electronics expert but will attempt basic work, including simple soldering.

Thanks in advance for any guidance
