    Status: offline     		 I got a question for anyone with experience with the nitro kyosho blizzard.  I cant seem to get the throttle to return back to full neutral so in the process the idle hangs high and sheers the pins inside the transmission.  At first when i put it together i had the control arm for the transmission too short but it worked ok, then I fixed the length of it and now i have this idle issue.. Any ideas on if its the other arms maybe or is it that little throttle setup they have with the rubber band wrapped around it... Any suggestions?

    Thanks alot!!!

    I had similar problems with mine; I solved it by ditching the mechanism and having a 3rd servo to seperate the forward/reverse changing duties from the throttle.  Pictures on page 71 of the other Blizzard thread...

    Status: offline     		the blizzard is alot of fun but as a nitro it drove me crazy, i bought the tranny and chassie plate and converted mine to electric with a crawler setup.
    i still love it but it has other flaws, mostly having to do with my wet snow
