Nitro rustler brakes stuck on when throttle neutral

[iamnotsmart]

My brakes are on does anyone know how to adjust the throttle setup my throttle multi function does not move anything at all it did but it was only when my throttle was reversed what do I adjust on it

Turn the car and radio on. Loosen the screw on the throttle linkage by the brake lever. It should pull the rod towards the front or the fuel tubing towards the rear. From there slide the fuel line and nut assembly to the seized position. Make sure it's tight as this stops your car.

Or t should they be stuck in when ur not on the throttle is it just like that?

Your brakes should not be stuck on. Does the linkage move freely when nit hooked up to the servo? Binding at the linkage at all?

It seems fine I’m just having no luck ima just leave it at no brakes atp I’ll work on it in a little when my charger comes because I lost mine and the cheap one I was using was a charging dock and the lipo connectores coming off the soldering or sum even tho I wasn’t using lipo and started a fire almost

Sounds like it’s in a bind somewhere. The linkage or the metal housing.

It stops when I loosen the top part of the housing like that little screw and back that thing off I think I have to move the setup around because it’s not setup right i just don’t know where to set it up.

The manual might have some info on setup. Check to make sure you aren't missing a spring or something that might be making it behave like that too.

In pretty sure I have everything I just need like a video or something to set it all up do you think there’s any out there?

Hey I think I fixed the brake problem just I have a little problem now I hit the brake and the throttle opens up like half way and then hit throttle closes perfect any clue what I could do and I think this doesn’t go on right with the spur gear bc I had this on then the spin bearing with the spur gear then this on the end

I still think theres something going on with your linkages . They either arent the right ones or installed incorrectly or some other fun thing. Compare the manual, pictures and parts very carefully to make sure its ALL right. Flipping the linkage from the top to the bottom of a servo arm can cause all sorts of changes in angle and operation.
I could guess all day at what is wrong but you have the car and can actually see it.
I'm pretty sure whatever this is is something small.
Double check that link I sent you too.

Is your motor lined up correctly?
It could just be the picture but it looks like your pinion is only half way engaged with the spur gear?

You want a little moon gap in the carb but I don't know ogf hand if that is 'right'
Gotta get manuals for your specific gear and learn this stuff. You'll be adjustimg the carb regularly.

Do you think this is a problem it’s hitting it decently.

 

[CertifiedMike]

The gears should be fully engaging one another. The spur should be in the middle of the pinion, not hanging off the side.
The pic looks like its hangimg off to me. I'm looking at this on a phone. Your eyes there are far better than what i can see here!!!

You might want to try moving the linkage in or out a hole on the servo arms to try to dial that in if its still giving you trouble when you adjust everything.

I think tbh I got it good but idk if this is supposed to go in or no on the thing first then the spur gear and rolling bearing then that thing on again in the pic then the spring and nut bc when I did it how it is in the thing the brakes where not locked on how they where and everything is good now just now having that spur and gear problem the way there grabbing isn’t like perfect spot on

Yeah I have the throttle perfect now and now just that gear problem
