I am working on getting my old Duratrax Maximum ST up and running again. I have the motor unseized, have replaced some things here and there and while I am waiting on some fuel to come in the mail I figured I would adjust the throttle linkage.
I am assuming it should be adjusted so that at the neutral position the engine should idle, wide open the carb is fully open and full brake the brake should be engaged and the engine should be idling.
Problem is that it doesn't seem the throttle/brake servo is giving me the full range of motion. That or I am just a noob and I am not adjusting properly.
When I set the linkage up so that the engine idles at the neutra position I'll get half throttle at best (based off of looking at the carb) when I give it a wide open throttle input from the controller.
Any pointers?
I will add that because I wasn't sure any of the electronics still worked I bought cheap (dollar store) panasonic AA batteries. Could this possibly be a contributing factor?
