The takeoff was aborted & the acft ran off the end of the rwy. The rwy was heavily rutted & acft had to use the left side of the rwy for about 3/4 of its length. The eng control friction was set such that the throttles moved with little effort. The plt stated he uses little friction on the eng controls.
