right my savgae 25 i thinik has got a sticky carb because as i open the throttle a little bit it will just keep at that speed and not slow down, it even does it when after a high speed run and i slow down it doesn't clse the carb enough for it to idle the only way to clse the carb is to brake and it idles shall i just take the carb off and clean all the dirt and grime in their, it's had 2 1/2 gallons through in about 3 months.
 
Wow. Thats a lot of bashing. :) What I would do is disconnect the linkage from the carb. Make sure all of your end point adjustments on your radio are set to zero and then reconnect the carb. You might also have to disconnect the servo horn from the servo and make some adjustments.
 
i've checked the servo horn and made no real adjustments cause it didn't need any i've made sure it moves freely in the carb and i've sprayed the inside of the carb with wd40 so it may be a bit better 2morrow, i use 20% bluethunder race formula nd i supppose i used 1 gallon in 1 month, i use a big hilly place so i use alot of fuel. but do break quite alot on my maxx, lol:doh:

Yes, You definetly should clean your carb as well as everything Mcvickj just stated, sounds like it could use a good cleaning along with all those adjustments.
