Throttle servo relocation and homeade linkage.

[Tominator06]

Hey guys just wanted to share my setup. I relocated my throttle servo and made up my own throttle/brake linkage from stock parts and a few things out of my toolbox. I added 2 springs to the stock servo saver to stiffen it up. As you can see in the vid it work's pretty smooth.

awesome linkages tom. i like the bend on the top. looks perfect.


consider replacing that servo arm with an alloy arm (no servo saver) so it don't rob your braking power.

nice thread, +rep

Looks real professional. I'm sure your aware but you are missing a screw for your plastic cross brace.

what did you use to make the bends in the upper linkage rod?

Thanks guys. Took a little thinking but went very easy.

Fred- I used a small set of channel locks and a set of wide jawed needle nose. That is the stock piece cut down and bent.

Fx- Yeah I knew it was missing. I got some new screws for the two plastic cross braces today but thanks for noticing anyway.
