1. Install the Z-bent end of the brake linkage rod (145) into a hole
16.5mm (5/8") away from the center of the servo horn.
❏
2. Slide the straight end of the brake linkage wire (145) through
the brake arm (128).
❏
3. Install the brake linkage tube (147) onto the end of the brake
linkage wire. Install a 3mm set screw (K) into the linkage collar
(146) and then slide the linkage collar onto the end of the brake
linkage wire.
❏
4. With the throttle at idle, slide the linkage collar (146) and tube
(147) against the brake actuator rod (128) so that a slight amount
of brake is applied. Tighten the 3mm set screw in the linkage collar.
You can check to see if the brakes are applied by gently rolling the
vehicle on a flat surface. If the brakes are applied there will be a
slight amount of resistance.
❏
5. Remove the throttle servo horn from the throttle servo. Turn
the transmitter on and then the receiver. Allow the throttle servo to
center. Then, reinstall the throttle servo horn back onto the throttle
servo as shown.
❏
1. Thoroughly soak the air filter element with the included air
filter oil. Work the air filter oil into the entire air filter element, then
using a clean, dry paper towel squeeze the excess air filter oil out
of the air filter element.
Note: When the air filter element becomes dirty, remove the
air filter element from the Nitro Evader and gently wash it
out with warm water and dish soap. After the air filter element
is completely dry, you can re-oil and re-install it onto your
Nitro Evader.
The High-Speed Needle
The “high-speed” needle is sticking up from the side of the carb. It is
located in the brass housing, just above the fuel inlet. It controls the
fuel to air mixture of the carb. The needle setting for break-in is 2 turns
out from fully closed. Once the engine is broken-in, the high-speed
needle would typically run from 1-1/4 to 1-3/8 turns out from closed,
depending on the temperature, humidity and altitude above sea level.
To richen the mixture turn the needle counterclockwise, to lean it turn
the needle clockwise.
