From memory on the one I had the small driving gear on the flywheel shaft is part of a slipping spring clutch arrangement so turning the tuning knob to the end carefully shouldn't overdo anything, the knob/flywheel shaft should slip, unlike the one on the HRO, once the split gears are at their limit everything stops, having said that it doesn't have the same type of flywheel kinetics as the AR88.
