❏
Step 3. Insert the brake rod as shown in the photo. Insert
the brake rod into the servo arm from the bottom, into the
second hole from the outside of the arm (approximately 5/8"
or 16mm).
❏
Step 4. Place the servo arm on the throttle servo and
place the brake rod through the brake lever. Do not install
the servo arm screw yet. You will need to make adjustments
before running your truck.
❏
Step 5. Insert the throttle rod into the outer hole in the
carburetor arm. Assemble in order, a 2mm collar and the
throttle spring. Next insert the throttle rod through the rod
connector on the throttle servo.
❏
Step 6. Install a 2mm collar at the end of the brake rod
and another 2mm collar at the end of the throttle collar.
Install a 3 x 3mm set screw in each of the 2mm collars. Do
not tighten the set screws all the way.
• Turn on the transmitter first, then the receiver.
• Center the trims of the throttle and steering channels (see
your radio system manual for the location of the trim
adjustments).
Steering Linkage Set Up
❏
Step 1. A) Remove the arm from the steering servo and
re-install the arm facing straight up (see photo above).
B) Position the front wheels so they are aimed “straight
ahead” (note that the tires are aligned slightly inward – this
is called toe-in).
C) When the wheels are straight, tighten the set screw on
the rod connector. Attach the servo arm with the servo arm
screw from your radio system.
Throttle Linkage Set Up
❏
Step 1. A) With the radio system still on, set the throttle
in the neutral position.
B) Remove the X-shaped arm from the throttle and replace
the arm so that it is aligned with the centerline of the throttle
servo case.
C) The brake lever should be perpendicular to the centerline
of the chassis as shown above.
D) Tighten the 2mm collar on the brake rod so that it is 3/32"
(2mm) away from the brake lever.
