Hey all,
I have a nitro RC 1/10 scale Volcano S-30 that has been running great until recently took it out for a spin and doesn't sound pretty. I am not sure if it's the clutch or diff but strangely when I pull on the throttle, I can see the front wheel spin on pavement but the car is not...

Problems with the carb and throttle linkage on my Revo. Mainly the bending in the thin Traxxas rod would prevent the carb from opening all the way up when WOT it was only a few mm but it was enough to force me to lean it out. Decided to make my own linkage with a much thicker pushrod to prevent...

Old batteries in the cars servo area.. maybe that's the issue. But the car still worked after hammering it threw the parking lot and then when I pushed the brakes when I approached it it appeared to stop so I pinched the fuel line.

Can someone take a look at the pic and tell me what parts were used to make up the throttle linkage? My son bought a Revo with a Losi m26ss; the linkage is crap, hangs up, doesn't go WoT. I really like this set up but having trouble putting the parts together.
