STEP #3
Throttle Rod Assembly:
- Thread the 5228 Throttle Rod into 5246 Ball Cup.
- Slide the parts shown on the Throttle Rod,
secure the collars using 5282 set screws.
- Mount the 5246 Swivel onto the Servo Horn thru the outer
most SMALL diameter holes. Attach using either the plastic or steel snap-clip.
Brake Rod Assembly:
- Thread the 5228 Brake Rod half way into the 5215 Ball End. Press the 5215 Pivot Ball
into the Ball End.
- Slide 5246 Collar onto the Brake Rod followed by 5246 Tubing.
-Mount the Brake Rod to the Servo Horn by placing 5201 Screw thru the Pivot Ball and
5232 Cone Spacer into the INNER most hole on the arm opposite the Throttle Linkage
Swivel. Secure using 5204 Locknut.

NOTE: For illustrative purposes the motor has been placed in the car. You will
want to mount the motor after you have completed the Cage assembly step.
Installation:
- Slide the open end of the Brake Rod thru the front of the Brake Cam.
- Slide 5246 Tubing Followed by 5246 Collar on the Brake Rod.
- Secure all Collars using 5282 Set Screws.
- Align the servo so it has equal throw in both directions. Press the
Servo Horn onto the Servo so that the Servo Horn is perpendicular to
the Servo Body as shown. Attach using the screw that came with
your servo.
- Trim the remaining length of the Servo Horn on the Brake Linkage
side to prevent collision with the Sprint Cage. It may be necessary to
bend the Brake Cam upward to allow for proper clearance with the
Sprint Cage as well.
- Keep the servo positioned at idle as shown in Figure #1

Figure #1! Might be
necessary to re-align both the Steering Servo Saver and the Throttle
Servo Horn once the radio is “ON” and the servos find their actual center.
Throttle Linkage: Loosen the collar on the right side of the
Swivel and slide the Rod so that the carb can fully close. Next
slide the right side collar up against the Swivel and tighten.
Lastly adjust the left side collar so that it compresses the
spring 1/8” to 3/16”.
Brake Linkage: Slide the Tubing on the Brake Rod so the
Tubing is tight to the Brake Cam and the brake is only slightly
engaged to the brake pad, there should be slight resistance
when trying to spin the spur gear.
LINKAGE SET-UP:
-
To be done with the radio unit ON!
-Within your radio locate the End Point Adjustments (EPA)
setting. Here you will reduce the amount of travel your servo
has so that you do not damage your carb. Notice the carb
position in Figure #2, this is FULL throttle to the motor and
the servo should pull no further than this.
-Set the Braking End Point so that at full brake (Figure #3) the
spring on the throttle linkage is just about fully compressed.
-Set the EPA for the Steering Servo as well, so that it will only
turn the amount the car will allow it.
