I did that too when I was using the original carb horn that came with the OS 11K. It worked fine and did eliminate all the bind issues when using the shorter horn on the carb slide.
It’s a workable system. But, it’s a system that sure does take some time to get right. Plus, it doesn’t help...
I’m gonna. I’ve got the car really good now. With little fear of the whole throttle system through the whole motor mount system. It’s going to be fun to just enjoy.
Also, it isn’t binding and torquing the whole motor mount system. No wonder I stripped the motor mount bolts. 2 of them. Which caused the spur strip.
It is perfect and my throttle linkage has about an 1/8th of slack between the servo horn and the linkage stop, at idle. It’s not torquing the...
Mine is a 2.5. However, the previous owner had upgraded the transmission to the 3.3. He had upgraded the whole car basically. And wore those upgrades out. lol
I’ve got electric cars and enjoy the sheer torque and sped they produce. I like the plug and play factor too. But, I’m obsessed in building my nitros perfect. And dependable. It also makes proper maintinence easy. All my nitros are really good. Dependable. My tmaxxs are great. My revo is...
That’s the only way I can set it to keep it from binding the way I’ve got the carb set. Like I was saying after your description on how you do it, I might be several degrees too far versus a degree too short.
But, to start over and adjust the carb that versus from server towards the carb, is...
My carb is a pretty tight fit. Hard to tweak in such a tight spot. But, I think I can make it work. I’ll give that a try next time I’ve got the motor out. Maybe I’ve went too far?
The first several pics are of the after market carb horn I put on it. I’m usually a stock kind of guy. But, early on I realized the whole throttle linkage was stretched to its limits the way it’s set up. Meaning it takes a very strong throttle spring to get the slide to return to the idle...
The brakes have never been great. I didn’t notice them being any worse since doing it. But, I’ve only driven it for a couple tanks like this. And figured I’d set the brakes once I got it broke in. Looks like I might have gotten a head of myself if the spring makes braking harder.
I’ll...
Just in case someone every searches this site for an answer to this problem, I found a skinny spring with coils far enough apart, that it could compress to a 1/3or 1/4 of its overall, uncompressed length. I put the this spring on the throttle linkage, behind the horn and in front of the back...
Ok. I finally received all my parts and got the revo ready for breaking. I adjusted the throttle linkage. I thought I had it durable. But, I’m on my third break in tank and the carb won’t return to idle without applying the brake.
This whole setup is kinda stupid. I like the platform no...
