Hi @D3MONlooks awesome man! love seeing the updates!
I try to set my throttle/brake servo neutral at idle position as much as possible. you limit this with endpoints. doing this gives you the most travel in either direction allowing for maximum usability of the servo. also if the linkage tries over-extending it wont rotate to far to start coming back around. (with that linkage not really possible, but for some I've worked on turning to far started coming back around going backwards.)
painting bodies is so much fun, honestly its kind of addicting in itself lol.
Thanks for the message. What I'm struggling with set-up wise is ...
when the horn is set in neutral position .. where should the throttle be set? because the brake doesn't move through as much of a range of motion as the throttle body I'm trying to think about where the thottle should be when the brakes are on bull beans.
I've really enjoyed the build though. I'm already thinking that I might change the toe on the rear. I've got it set at .5 degree toe in and being as i'm not going to be racing for some time I'd thinking I might set everything to 0 / neutral so that I can learn to control the vehicle and then tune as I need.
On the painting front ... do you need to prime the shell or can you just buy some paint and crack on?
The attached would be my ideal paintwork but i've got no clue where to even start! (This is my favourite racing car of all time)
