center the throttle trim on it. Install a set screw into one of the
rod collars. NOTE: Only thread the set screw in slightly so that
the rod collar will slide over the throttle linkage rod. Place the
metal rod collar and the throttle linkage spring onto the
throttle rod (Do not tighten the rod collar yet). Install the
throttle servo horn onto the throttle servo as shown.
❏
16. Make sure the carburetor is at the idle setting (refer
to the throttle stop screw, page 10). Then, install the second
rod collar onto the end of the throttle linkage rod. The rod
collar should slide up against the throttle linkage rod
connector as shown.
❏
17. Slide the first rod collar against the throttle linkage
spring, slightly compressing the spring. Tighten the set
screw in the rod collar. You should apply a small amount
of thread lock to the set screws in the wheel collars to
prevent them from loosening during running.
❏
18. Lift the throttle linkage servo horn off of the servo.
Install the remaining z-bend wire from the bottom into the
hole farthest from the center of the servo horn. Note: This
hole is slightly enlarged. Slide the threaded end of the brake
linkage rod through the brake lever.
❏
19. Slide the pre-cut 5mm (1/4") piece of fuel tubing onto
the threaded end of the brake linkage rod. The fuel tubing
should slide all the way up against the brake lever. Then
thread the quick tune brake adjuster onto the brake linkage
rod. Note: The transmitter should still be on for this step.
Thread the quick tune brake adjuster on until it almost
touches the pre-cut piece of fuel tubing. Note: At this position
the car should roll freely. Move the transmitter trigger to apply
the brakes and try to gently move the vehicle. If the car rolls
freely the quick tune brake adjuster should be threaded on
farther. If the car does not move then the linkage is set up
correctly. Install the servo horn screw into the throttle servo.
❏
20. Install the air filter onto the carburetor. Using
the included tie-strap, secure the air filter to the carburetor. Cut
off any excess portion of the tie-strap to avoid interference.
