Hi guys I have just completed the build of an ansmann virus 2 & I am stuck setting up the brake, the car runs fine & Is very fast, but setting the brake so that the engine doesn't stall seems impossible, does anyone have one & can the inbox me a pic of servo settings with the brake rode positions ect.

Thanks
Andy
 
It's stalling because you have not set your idle properly.
You need to adjust the LSN and the idle screw with the radio trim all the way down and holding the trigger in the full brake position.
 
Hi rolex, still no joy fiddled for 2 hours & got bored, when ever I tightened the idle screw it just makes the carb cease up, if anyone has any pics of their brake & throttle servo & pin set up pics that would really help for a starting point as I don't even know if they are correct, thanks in advance
 
You need to lean the LSN to raise the RPM at the same time you lower the idle screw. Radio trim all the way off and brake all the way on.

Read rolex said low speed idle screw not the stop screw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:\

That's odd that it seizes up. With the idle screw set where you have it, disconnect the throttle wire from the servo (or carb), take off the air filter boot and push the carb closed by hand. It shouldn't close all the way. If it does, then you do need to screw your idle in to make around a 1mm gap when you look down the carb throat. If it's binding, then something is wrong with the carb, or at least not put together properly.
