One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem. ~Alexander Jodorowsky.....

How new are them moabs? They seam to be slipping on a bit. If their new they should work in.. If their been on it for a wile.. You can get back the tackiness of them by scrubbing them with Dawn dish detergent or simple green.

To control the speed depending on if your right or left handed. Right handed I hold the controller flat like you would with a stick type controler
with the steering wheel facing up. I control the steering with right hand. my middle finger, I use to control the throttle not my index finger.
index finger i place were the quality toys label is. I then use my thumb as a stop behind the trigger to control forward speed.

In all honesty I'm not a fan of spring operated
controls, since I fly helis which need precise movements. Using a pistol grip controller I find
the method above gives me more control over forward speed. Not sure if people understand what I'm writing above. Wish I had a video camera would be easier to show.
