hi,
i have a dt400 cab and the buttons stick down,(no i didn't spill anything on it)
in another post,I think it was randy who suggested to take apart the cab to see if the overlay was off centered
Ive found two screws under the battery door but still cant get it apart.am i missing some other places the have screws to hold it together.
thanks for the help.

I had this problem with one of my DT400s. On the buttons where this was a problem, I took an Xacto knife with a sharp #11 blade and carefully enlarged the holes in the plastic overlay around the sticking buttons.
That solved the problem for me, and without having to disassemble the throttle.

There are like a dozen clips around the rest of the case which hold the two halves together. You have to carefully work it open with a small screwdriver or similar. I guess they wanted to make sure it was solid - it's certainly not going to pop open on its own without the screws.
