Just purchased a Judge Dredd and as I was looking it over I found what looks to be a variable resistor hanging from the dead World motor... it's like an old school radio on off volume knob. Does anybody have any idea what this could be for? It is wired in line with the motor.

Just a WAG...someone replaced the motor with one that was a different speed, and they used a motor controller to adjust the speed?

Took a look on ebay...here it is: ebay.com link: DC 5A 3V 35V Motor PWM Speed Controller Small Speed Control Switch LED Dimmer

Ok thanks, but not the question is how should I adjust it? Maybe just remove it and see what happens?

I'd take a look at the motor assembly and try to figure out why someone was compelled to install it in the first place. Different gears or different motor is my initial guess...maybe they just wanted to slow it down. You should also verify the motor voltage. No harm in asking the seller too.
