Revo BB Losi throttle linkage

[Highway123]

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.

Look in the revo sec. Or search bb revo. There are 4-5 threads with pics. Mine included. Every linkage that came with the kits hung up on me. I ended up keeping the rod straight and using a stand off.

I've searched and searched but I'm having trouble finding the parts. What "kit" am I needing or at least to start with, and where do you guys suggest I find these?
I noticed AMAIN has plenty of throttle and steering horns but where do I start? The closet RC hobby shop is 60 miles away so everything I do for nitros in online.
Thanks for the reply!

Ebay sells bb conversion kits. The come with a mount and linkage.

Most come with some sort of z shaped linkage for throttle. You will prolly make your own.

Well by accident I found out what linkage set up that in the picture; Tekno TKR 1011 and unfortunately is unavailable....so far.

Yeah sv250 looks like I'll be making one from scratch. The BB was already on the truck when we bought it so I don't know if a kit ever came with it.

the tekno kit has long been out of production ,maybe try ebay for 2nd hand one but as @sv250 said you usually have to make your own as the one that comes with the new era mount is crap and wont work properly. you will need a length on 3mm rod from your lhs , the stronger the better and simply bend one up ,it is a bit of trial and error and you may have to rotate the carb slightly to get it to wot also.

Guys I appreciate the replies...
I just ordered a T-Maxx throttle linkage kit from Amazon, this will give a good start. I'll use one of these servo horn kits from AMAIN. I think I can get something to work from there.

It should be easy enough to make something similar.
Here is the Tekno pdf on their linkage with pics.

Here is what the kit came with, assembled pic can be found in the above pdf.

Here is the old New Era offset for the arm, should be easy enough to make out some aluminum flat stock.
It bolts on top of the engine mount tab, and you can make it offset as much or as little as needed to suite your particular truck/engine combo.

Here is a thread with some pics of a throttle arm mount made like the one above, and using the stock revo throttle arm.

Great info! Thank you! I do a lot of fabrication in my shop at home so this shouldn't be to much of a problem.
