Now the throttle's base was opened, I could access the potentiometer. All I did was spraying the potentiometer with contact cleaner, while sliding the throttle handle back and forth, and viola! No more jitters. CH Products are very well-made, I dare to say they're better made than Thrutsmaster. I …

The cons (in my mind) with the KEX engine, is that the word remaster for the FPS games, they have made a "remaster" of (if we take it grammatically). Is a fallacy, since they do NOT use the source code. From the original games. Neither Quake 1 and 2 "remasters" and for that matter Blood , …
