Well I was able to remove the safety wire. All I needed to do was rotate my Carb. Linkage is working well but I don't think the throttle is opening 100%. Might need to buy a hitec servo and program it accordingly...

i see you have the stock throttle servo ..they are a bit weak ......do you still have 2 steering servo ?? if so , you can use one for your throttle ....one will work fine for steering

I have a single Hitec HSR 5995 for the steering. Wonder if a traxxas 2075( I have 2) would be a little better than the stock 2056 in there now?( for throttle/brake)

Yes. I have the 2075 on both my revo and tmaxx throttle brake and it works tons better than the stockers.

Without factoring in speed and torque, with any standard servo you should be able to get the throttle to work correctly, it’s just a matter of adjusting the linkage and angle of the carb in relation to the position of the throttle arm on the slide valve.
Disconnect the brake linkage and get the throttle operating correctly 1st, then adjust the brake.

Very True, but a decently operating 2056 servo and a good rx pack it should have no problems with the stock trs when adjusted correctly. Even the original revo with the 2018 servo would work with a stock trs (at least untill the servo got tired).
A lot of revos I've worked on for people over the years dont have the linkage adjusted correctly (I've see it time and time again) and they rely on the trs to return the slide valve to the idle position, it needs to be adjusted so that without the trs attached it works perfectly from idle to wot and then if too weak with the trs attached its time for fresh servo.
 
Replaced servo with 2075(much quicker action) I also adjusted the linkage a little as mentioned. I now have 100% throttle. Thanks for the tips guys...I have run 3 tanks through the new picco so far without a hitch. Annnnd I just saw a unicorn, I found the gold at the end of the rainbow and am also about to come up with a solution for world peace. ;)
